teardrops

On-Yomi: ルイ

Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 17-10-2008(56): Water drops from your eye are teardrops.

2) [channi] 21-5-2009(10): I get water in my eye to form TEARDROPS wishing every kanji was this easy.

3) [kapalama] 16-7-2010(7): 泪橋 teardrops (#2294 泪) ルイ, なみだ … Parts: 氵, 目 … Note: Tuttle 3a9.21 … 涙 tears (#1082 涙), vs. 泪 teardrops (#2294 泪) (vs 淚 )? don't worry. They are the exact same word except when used in place names: On and Kun are the same . 涕 has the decency to have a different On-Yomi. But the Kun is the same. …

4) [astridtops] 4-9-2006(2): Teardrops are water that falls from the eyes. Well, technically it isn't pure water, and technically it doesn't fall from the eyes, but from the tear conducts, but let's keep the image simple…

5) [CasualTatsumaki] 29-6-2012(): After seeing this kanji on a bottle of eye drops for contact lenses, I changed the keyword to eye drops to distinguish it from 涙 tears (#1082 涙).
