Koohii stories:

1) [frychiko] 14-2-2008(304): You can proclaim your opinions from the comfort of your HOUSE and have it SPAN the entire globe these days via The Internet.

2) [mameha1977] 27-8-2007(59): I heard young Muslims have to memorise the Koran and proclaim it aloud as a kind of rite of passage. Imagine the SPAN of hours spent under a ROOF practising that! It must surely be worse than trying to get through Heisigs RTK - count yourself lucky.

3) [dwhitman] 25-10-2007(42): A local official proclaims a curfew spanning sunset to sunrise - you must stay under your own roof during that time span. I keep wanting to add in the "words" 言 primitive. Don't think about someone reading it aloud - focus on the CURFEW that was proclaimed. I also tend to confuse this one with imperial edict (#342 詔). Remember this proclamation comes from a petty local official.

4) [tstuhldreher] 16-6-2008(36): I keep thinking about the Irish one-hit band the Proclaimers, who promised to walk 500 miles – quite a long SPAN – to reach your HOUSE.

5) [Ameyama] 26-2-2008(23): Proclaim something loud enough that spans the roof tops.
