We first construct the Loewner loops on the (mildly singular) companion tori, locally isometric to X away from the Weierstrass points. The loops are then transplanted to X, and surgered to obtain a Loewner loop on X. In higher genus, we exploit M. Gromov's area estimates for epsilon-regular metrics on X.9 pages. Proceedings Amer.
