. WKD - Hokku and Haikai 　発句と俳諧 . 　
The opening verse of a linked verse or beginning stanza was called " hokku　発句" .
Since about 1670, the haikai poets started composing stand-alone poems of 5 7 5, independent from the renku 連句　linked verse.
They were usually simply called KU　句, poem, verse.
A hokku and a haiku in Japan share the same basic formal criteria:
5 7 5 on
one kireji
one kigo/kidai
Shiki did not touch this formal definition when he promoted the naming of haiku 俳句.
