On-Yomi: リョウ
Koohii stories:
1) [LazyNomad] 18-6-2009(134): Trivia: The right primitive is kagaribi - 尞 - fuel used for sacrifices. I would use sacred bonfire as a primitive . (Mnemonic: Top is a merged image of big and fire - big sacred bonfire that looks like little sun). Story: Your colleague got fired literally… in a sacred bonfire by Mr.T.
2) [aircawn] 16-2-2007(100): Some businesses allow pets in the office. Here, my colleague is Mr T and he set up a little pup tent for his minidog, then turns around and completes his TPS reports.
3) [the_marshal] 26-6-2006(80): Mr. T began working in a japanese compagny. As he sees that his colleague accept to do some extra work during the week-end and even sleep at the office, he says to them: "I pity da fool who work during week-end! You might as well install a pup tent in the office and forget about your home".
4) [takoman] 11-6-2008(20): (リョウ) When Ned (insert male person here) gets a pup tent (i.e. a woody), he calls it his "colleague." (again, sorry for the crudeness of many of my stories).
5) [Johnnyltn] 30-9-2006(15): A colleague implies someone that you share work with, such as in your company or profession, etc. Here your colleague helps you to erect your pup tent during a company outing. Note: Heisig's warning to keep this distinct from other similiar kanji such as companion (#19 朋), friend (#704 友), consort (#1203 伴) and comrade (#1637 輩). That is why I chose to have the person element pictured as someone (the colleague in this case) helping with the work of building the pup tent.
