Koohii stories:

1) [CharleyGarrett] 14-11-2006(47): This is the kanji for the classical form of "is". I think Heisig's keyword "est" is the old english or latin word for "is". The Scorpion this est!

2) [this_is_douglas] 3-7-2009(23): "Est" is the latin third person singular of the verb "esse" (to be) in Latin. So, this word has been chosen to point out that this character is found chiefly in Classical Japanese (also names). I imagine an incredibly haughty Latin Scorpion, looking down at his vast estate and saying "Mihi est". This literally mean "It is to me" and means "It's mine" … this is gramatically similar to how Japanese express possession too, incidentally.

3) [Regular] 21-10-2010(11): C'est un scorpion.

4) [mantixen] 14-2-2007(8): A scorpion this est.

5) [eatyoda] 10-12-2008(5): Est…eastern standard time. "The Scorpion King" est showing only on eastern standard time.
