Koohii stories:

1) [amema] 20-11-2007(108): The tree has reached the extremity of its growth and no longer produces small, new branches at the top. Instead the existing top branch just grows longer and longer.

2) [Shibo] 8-4-2008(30): There are no great stories for this one yet, and I always forget it.. So, let's try something ridiculous: The man lived by himself in the wilderness, with no females within miles. So, his only way of relief was to stick his extremity into a small hole in a tree.. The poor guy. Which horizontal stroke is the extremity? The longer one or the shorter one? That, my friends, is up to your own imaginations. I'd prefer not to dwell on that point, myself. ;).

3) [Dualta] 13-3-2008(29): The tree's top branches have grown to extremities.

4) [NyahK] 3-12-2009(23): Another version of that by mameha1977 and dat5h: [Cheat] Remember these as a set: The tree ( 木 ) has not yet ( 未 ) reached the extremity ( 末 ) of its vermilion ( 朱 ) foliage.

5) [arthur] 18-1-2009(9): It's near the upper extremity of the tree that grows the larger branches.
