On-Yomi: シュ、ス、シュウ — Kun-Yomi: ぬし、おも、あるじ

Koohii stories:

1) [sethimayne] 22-10-2007(196): A lord is a little drop down from King in hierarchy.

2) [Spoonz] 15-2-2009(79): A lord only has a drop of the king's power.

3) [Murjab] 20-9-2007(28): Although this kanji's meaning hasn't caused me much trouble, I've had problems remembering the direction of the drop above king, since drops at tops of kanji often seem to appear in different directions. To remember this one, I think of the placement of the drop in jewel (#256 玉). Both of them use the king primitive and include a short drop stroke going from the top left to bottom right.

4) [trevlaw] 8-11-2008(23): Oh lord! someone spat on the king.

5) [MidoriTori] 7-8-2009(10): The lord wants to DROP something on the KING'S head so he can become king himself.
