Koohii stories:
1) [Raichu] 8-6-2007(290): This is a simplification of 竝, a ideogram of two people standing in a row.
2) [fuaburisu] 12-1-2006(53): Hint : as a primitive I use the image of a rowing boat. In a rowing boat people sit in rows, but also side-by-side (another meaning of the kanji), working together (yet another meaning of this kanji). Note : there will also be a kanji for "rowboat" coming at frame 1876. The rowing boat is associated with the sport, and is a primitive, while the kanji for "rowboat" has a generic meaning of "a small boat". In any case, the kanji for "rowboat" will not appear as a primitive in the book.
3) [bkvogel] 17-9-2008(37): Roman numeral II with 2 rows of animal horns.
4) [sgrant] 18-7-2009(22): Full form: The image of a viking longboat has the advantage of being both a pictograph and lending to the idea of rowing. Flattened form: Here, we simply take the action of rowing, already reinforced by the previous image. Upside-down-in-a-row form: The horns on the top of this form follows the other forms as an image of a Viking Berserker with his horned helmet.
5) [radical_tyro] 14-7-2007(15): Pictograph of the standing row in a theatre. // Primitive: a row of standing penguins (since they can't sit). If it's in the top position, the penguins are in a row in a balcony above the stage. If it's in the bottom position, the penguins are in the front row, lower than the stage. If the top 3 strokes are moved to the bottom ("upside down in a row"), then the penguins are in a row doing headstands.
