Can anyone tell me where or whether MT used the word "tabu" (or "taboo"),
other than in _Roughing It_ and _Following the Equator_? In particular,
does it occur in _Innocents Abroad_?

I am trying to date a MS fragment in which SLC says, probably speaking
of a printer, "If he does not know the meaning of `tabu,' let him look
it up in a dictionary."

Thanks for your help.
