Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 16-10-2008(46): To gargle, put a bundle of medicine in your mouth with water and throw your head back as if in a yawn.

2) [kapalama] 8-10-2011(7): 含漱 =含嗽=嗽=うがい, 嗽薬* , 夏目漱石 = Natsume Soseki = Summer Eye, Gargle Rocks, 漱ぐ =雪ぐ=濯ぐ,gargle (#2288 漱)ソウ, すすぐ … Note: うがい(Gargle) is written in kana or 嗽. … Parts:氵, 束 , 欠 OR 瀬 - 頁 , 欠 (cf: 瀬戸内海 rapids (#1666 瀬), 濯ぐ laundry (#577 濯), 雪ぐ snow (#1143 雪), 頼む trust (#1665 頼), 嗽薬 Unicode-0x55fd (#22013 嗽)) … Story: Going rafting with Soseki, we hit the rapids, fell out the boat, and our heads fell off. Now we lack heads and gargle river water. Not a good day out with Soseki.

3) [Aerin] 10-11-2007(5): Gargle by bundling water in your throat that lacks moisture.

4) [nest0r] 22-3-2010(3): Sōseki ( 漱石 ) never gargled with any liquid except water, because his trust was lacking (hence the missing/replaced primitive from trust). He died of a stomach ulcer. Coincidence? I think not.

5) [aircawn] 29-12-2007(2): Pictogram. Heisig himself suggested lack as referring to a gaping maw. So, the water becomes bundled with a gaping maw and the gargling ensues.
