Koohii stories:
1) [dingomick] 14-3-2007(262): As a present, I gave my dentist a hand-crank tool for spreading mouths. He was so happy since it makes his job easier.
2) [rgravina] 27-10-2006(66): I see this as a pictograph of an old-style phonograph - a stand, record, crank and bell (the mouth). Even the primitives work out - a tool with a crank which plays music out of the bell mouth. Imaginge giving one of these old and beautiful phonographs to a classical or jazz music buff!
3) [noname] 11-3-2008(55): This kanji does not mean "give" as in "give to someone." It means "give" in the sense that someone gave you something, or did something for your benefit when combined with a gerund (-te/-de form) of a verb. STORY: Your working in a factory and your hand gets stuck in one of the gears. You yell with a big MOUTH, "HELP!" and one of your co-workers runs over, GIVES YOU a HAND-CRANK TOOL, and goes back to work. =(.
4) [zazen666] 5-12-2007(10): Some dude is changing a flat tire. He opens his mouth to say, "GIVE me that tool,…what was it called again? Oh yeah, a tire iron." (The forth stroke looks like a tire iron to me.).
5) [hunchbag] 20-11-2009(8): I was going to give you a hand-crank tool but I eated it. :(.
