ah, well... all the Higurashi Chapter Titles follow this pattern:
(Kanji 1)(Kanji 2)(shi / し)
1) 鬼隠し Onikakushi
2) 綿流し Watanagashi
3) 祟殺し Tatarigoroshi
4) 暇潰し Himatsubushi
5) 目明し Meakashi
6) 罪滅し Tsumihoroboshi
7) 皆殺し Minagoroshi
8) 祭囃し Matsuribayashi
*) 鬼曝し Onisarashi (Kinda like a Tatarigoroshi followup)
*) 猫騙し Nekodamashi (I heard it's focused on the comedy - haven't read it)
*) 宵越し Yoigoshi (Takes place in present day Hinamizawa to replace Minagoroshi hen for its manga counter-part)
The first 8 are the Sound Novel Series. The * ones are extra chapters found in Manga format. Only the first 6 will be animated. So far the anime has always made the second kanji in red. Does it have any significance? Probably not as the Sound Novel does not follow this pattern. I also do not know what importance the red な in ひぐらしのなく頃に besides Ryukishi 07 stressing it is an integral part of the title.
