Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 16-2-2007(27): It used to be that for a meeting [old] you'd meet for a day to get the small details pent in. Even then such meetings were still held under the Japanese cypress [old].

2) [gavmck] 26-3-2010(7): For Meeting (old) 會 at Unicode-0x6703 (#26371 會). Pent-in + small is pictograph of "a pair of glasses with windscreen wipers" like something out of a joke shop. STORY: In the olden days we couldn't afford a roof, so we would meet alfresco. Our spectacles had built in wipers so we could continue working during inclement weather. The meetings (old) were long and would often last until sundown. Those were the days! Note: So for Japanese cypress (old) simply replace 会 in Japanese cypress (#2495 桧) with 會.

3) [n1williams] 22-1-2010(3): Long ago, the JAPANESE CYPRESS [old] was the best TREE to have a MEETING. Even though everyone was PENT IN the rather SMALL area under the tree's cover, it was pleasant enough that they could be there all DAY.

4) [enryu] 5-9-2009(3): You wait as days pass, pent in a little wooden cage, until you are summoned for a meeting with the old Japanese Cypress in which she sets you free.

5) [thecite] 9-1-2010(1): Let the middle primitive of meeting = broken window. The people meet to discuss the recent outbreak of window smashing after the sun goes down. Story: Even in the old days, people met at the Japanese Cypress.
