On-Yomi: カ — Kun-Yomi: かわ

Koohii stories:

1) [gsantise] 25-8-2007(175): A river CAN exist only if there is WATER.

2) [Avispa] 29-8-2007(85): I kept confusing this with stream. My Japanese friend said that to him this is for an artificial river. Looking at kanji compounds with this there are two that struck me: One is the Yellow River in China ( 黄河 ), and the other is the Milky Way ( 銀河 ). Now I either think of the Little Engine that could dragging a bunch of stuff down a river in China and polluting it (so it turned yellow) or I see the Little Engine that Could flying across the sky making the Milky Way.

3) [aspr8045] 2-2-2009(72): "I CAN has WATER?" sez rivercat.

4) [stereovibe] 11-3-2008(44): With enough water you can make a river.

5) [Ningen] 26-8-2008(24): The lesson of persistence: even drops of water can become a RIVER.
