On-Yomi: ゴウ

Koohii stories:

1) [adhmm] 25-11-2007(188): Mount everest is very sturdy, you can hit it all day with a saber and it wont even wobble.

2) [samusam] 17-2-2008(54): Anything sturdy in Japan is associated with Mount Fuji. Perhaps this is because it's symmetry is believed to make it rather sturdy itself, unlike all those crooked mountains that are around and tend to fall apart (think rock slides, avalanches, etc.). Here we see Sturdy-brand sabers with Mount Fuji engraved on the blade.

3) [raulir] 5-1-2007(31): This is the full character for sturdy, to which saber is added as an example of a sturdy thing. (the true etymology of 岡鋼綱剛 is a bit more messy, but I don't really care, this way it's easy to remember, and isn't far from the truth anyway).

4) [Hujis] 26-5-2009(15): Remember the sword in the stone. This is the saber in the top of Mt —. It's so sturdy almost no one can pull it out.

5) [radical_tyro] 20-7-2007(12): The most sturdy sabers are made on sturdy Mount Fuji.
