shish kebab

On-Yomi: カン、ケン、セン — Kun-Yomi: くし、つらぬ.く

Koohii stories:

1) [Texie] 30-7-2008(119): This is a pictograph if ever I saw one. Two chunks of meat on a skewer.

2) [poopdeedoo] 20-3-2008(101): Naka naka , "who's there?" shish kebab …. "shish kebab who?".

3) [shadolite] 27-3-2008(30): The actual definition of this kanji is "a skewer," which I believe is much more helpful as a primitive. Just think, two mouths skewered on same stick.

4) [alantin] 30-5-2007(15): The skewer that runs through the two junks of shish kebab.

5) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(9): Pictograph, see book.
