Subject: Capturing a Chu Lion

I thought I really knew the rules for Lion capturing Lion at Chu
Shogi. But I have just now looked carefully at the wording in MSM, and
it appears it doesn't actually cover all the cases:

If a Lion is on a (1) square, can the Lion capture it and stay where
it is? (I have always assumed yes, but in fact the rules only mention
moving on (or back) after capturing).
If a Lion is on a (1) square, can the Lion move to another (adjacent)
(1) square, and then capture it? (This seems silly, but I am a writing
a computer program, so this case also must be covered).

The rule 4(c) only mentions capture by igui, or capture and move on. I
have always assumed that the two cases above were also covered by rule
4(c), but actually they are not mentioned at all.
