> Thanks for the report. That code seems to be quite old in style in general; it appears to use obarrays as some kind of poor man's hash table, so perhaps it even pre-dated the addition of hash tables to Emacs.

Yes, Tamago is quite old. IIRC,

* Its origin is input method for NEmacs, editor based on Emacs 18.55
  and modified to handle Japanese charactars properly.
* In 2000 Tamago version 4 was released. It was rewritten from scratch
  so it works as input method for Emacs 20.
* Debian forked original Tamago version 4 and maintained for their own
  Tamago package. But it was orphaned later and already disappeared
  from Debian packages list.
* FreeBSD Tamago port (editors/tamago) forked version
  4.0.6+0.20041122cvs-19 of Debian's one in 2016 and have maintained
  it as source for it.

> Do you know if the Github repository (hrs-allbsd/tamago) is the closest we can get to an upstream source for this package? If so, open a bug report (issue) there. We will help explaining the problems.

I submitted bug report to both FreeBSD Bugzilla and Githab repository.
