*''Compiled: [[1711]], [[Shikina Seimei]]''
*''Japanese'': 混効験集 ''(konkou kenshuu)''
The ''Konkôkenshû'' is a dictionary of old Ryukyuan court language, compiled in [[1711]] at the request of the court by Ryukyuan courtier & scholar of Japanese literature [[Shikina Seimei]]. It lists words and phrases used in the Ryukyuan royal court, and amongst Ryûkyû's aristocracy, explaining each in Japanese.
The dictionary contains a total of roughly one thousand entries, divided between two volumes - a main volume, labeled 乾, and a supplemental or additional volume, labeled 坤.<ref>This use of the characters ''kenkon'' 乾・坤 is one of several common ways of labeling, or "numbering," multi-volume publications. Other common systems include 上・中・下 and 天・地・人 for publications in three volumes.</ref> The entries include many terms from the ''[[Omoro Soshi|Omoro Sôshi]]'', as well as quotes from the [[Ise Monogatari]], [[Genji Monogatari]], and [[Tsurezuregusa]].
One old manuscript copy of the ''Konkôkenshû'', designated an [[Important Cultural Property]], is in the collection of the [[Okinawa Prefectural Museum]].
