sea

On-Yomi: カイ — Kun-Yomi: うみ

Koohii stories:

1) [Codexus] 6-12-2007(184): Every drop of water will eventually return to the sea.

2) [ihatobu] 9-8-2008(22): As depicted in the classic SF film Fantastic Voyage, every drop of water is a sea, if you look close enough. Imagine peering through a microscope at a vast sea teeming with microbial life (and perhaps a minaturized submarine). Note: Take care not to confuse with ocean (#549 洋).

3) [Ceryn] 24-3-2008(17): "WATER, WATER, EVERYwhere, And all the boards did shrink; WATER, WATER, EVERYwhere, Nor any drop to drink." Remember to take enough water with you when you go out to SEA or die like the sailors in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

4) [kiisu] 28-2-2008(16): There is water in every sea.

5) [wasurenaide] 8-8-2007(11): My way of distinguishing this from ocean (#549 洋) 海 -うみ rhymes with sea 洋服 -ようふく (first syllable) rhymes with (first syllable) ocean.
