put up a notice

On-Yomi: ケイ — Kun-Yomi: かか.げる

Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 13-10-2005(247): A muchacho puts up a notice that says “NO FINGER SNAPPING ALLOWED. MUCHACHOS ON SIESTA”. The muchachos are sleeping soundly, completely oblivious to the sound of dogs barking, guitar playing and even gun shots. Now imagine one tourist passing by and snapping his fingers and waking up all the muchachos at once.

2) [Shibo] 13-4-2008(148): Just as I was finished putting up a "no siestas" notice on my property, a muchacho gave me the finger, sat down, and promptly fell asleep.

3) [BigAmish] 15-8-2008(25): The Mexican piano tutor PUT UP A NOTICE that his FINGERS were tired and that he was going to take an extended SIESTA.

4) [elanlan] 18-6-2009(14): I used a finger and a thumbtack to put up a sign on my door to notify others that I was taking a siesta and was not to be disturbed. (think finger = thumb[tack] and this kanji is easy).

5) [nilfisq] 29-8-2007(10): Keep your fingers crossed when you go to a shop in Italy: you might see the shop owner putting up a notice: "closed because of siesta".
