dedicate (RTK3)

On-Yomi: ホウ

Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 6-10-2008(40): DEVOTE (new rtk3 keyword). Think of the Yakuza. To show their DEVOTION to the clan, they must be DEDICATED enough to cut off their FINGERS if they fail a task.

2) [astridtops] 10-1-2007(15): Dedicated people who dedicate themselves to growing bonsai cornstalkes have to have very fine fingers to work the bonsai cornstalk.

3) [icamonkey] 18-8-2009(13): My fingers are devoted to writing kanji, because I dedicated myself to Japanese.

4) [CountPacula] 26-7-2009(3): Dedicated fingers do devoted work.

5) [CharleyGarrett] 21-8-2008(3): They tried dedicate the grave, but Fingers, the thief, swiped the bonsai and cornstalk set apart to adorn the grave they were to dedicate, so they couldn't dedicate it. (ah, now I know why I missed this one….Heisig reused this RTK3 keyword in a later revision of RTK1, so "observance/dedicate" 1573 is the RTK1 keyword). In the 2nd edition of RTK3, the keyword for 2265 is "devote".
