Subject: Chu Shogi "Lion" Questions

Hello. I was just looking over Schmittberger's rules for Chu Shogi
in NEW RULES FOR CLASSIC GAMES and have a few questions regarding the
play of the lion piece.

1. If the lion captures without moving (igui), is there no movement
for that player that turn? In other words, can the lion capture via
igui and then can you move the lion again or another piece?

2.Schmittberger talks about special rules for the lion. One of them
states "A lion may capture an opposing lion on a B square only if the
opposing lion is unprotected. A lion is considered "protected" for
the purpose of this rule by a pinned piece, as well as by a piece that
is blocked from the defense of the lion only by the attacking lion"

  What does "pinned piece" mean in this context?

  Is this rule just trying to say that a lion may not capture a lion
on a B square if the attacking lion will be captured on the following
turn?
