On-Yomi: コウ

Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 25-8-2006(44): Rays of sunlight on the water make for a glistening effect.

2) [oregum] 10-1-2009(13): The WATER is glistening in the RAYS of light.

3) [herman] 20-1-2009(6): Compare with shimmering (frame 2880), where the rays of sunlight shimmer off the futon. Water is what's glistening in those rays. (helps to remember both kanji).

4) [gavmck] 13-7-2010(3): Water glistens when lit by the rays from ANY kind of light (fire, candle, lamp) - NOT just sunlight.

5) [wilsoncb] 23-8-2010(1): When I think of glistening (in a way that's distinct from sparkle or shimmering), I think of sweat glistening on someone's brow. Imagine seeing the drops of water there, glistening in the rays of sun…
