Koohii stories:

1) [Birdsong] 8-5-2007(172): In SUMMER you are hot from the top of your head down to your walking legs.

2) [rachels] 28-7-2008(114): One drop of sweat runs into my eye, when I go walking on a hot summer day.

3) [ouroborosatx] 27-5-2008(94): I personally think it was too confusing to try and use head as the primitive. (How am I supposed to remember that the animal legs are replaced with walking legs instead of human legs?) Rather, I think have the image of a hot summer and you want to keep oneself under a ceiling not out jogging around.

4) [kapalama] 15-8-2011(33): Tip:Don't use Head/Page( 頁 ) as a primitive, or it will just screw up. 頁 is used hundreds of times as primitive, and always needs the animal legs. Repetition makes RTK work. Little changes make life hard … The smell of sweat in Summer rises to the ceiling, leading you to take your 自 nose out on 夂walking legs for fresh cool air. Remember a set with 冬 winter (#427 冬) where the sweat (two drops in fact), has fallen down and frozen below those same walking legs.

5) [whistler11] 22-4-2006(14): The heat of summer is so powerful, it swells your head so big, you need a bigger set of walking legs to hold it up.
