parch

On-Yomi: ソウ — Kun-Yomi: はしゃ.ぐ

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(273): Tip: goods + wood/tree : This combination of primitives appears four times in Heisig, so it's worthwhile giving it a name. I suggest "furniture" (a common type of wooden goods). REF: parch (FRAME 215) , maneuver (#671 操), winding (#1369 繰), seaweed (#2035 藻). Story: It's been so parched recently that your furniture suddenly catches fire.

2) [Christine_Tham] 18-8-2007(76): The parchment says you need fire to make goods from trees.

3) [crayonmaster] 24-1-2009(42): When a FIRE is parched, it isn't thirsty for water, it wants to gobble up some WOODEN GOODIES!

4) [PeterJD] 5-4-2008(33): ソウ "A fire's heat will parch/dry out any goods made from wood." E.G. 乾燥する （かんそう・する）to dry up.

5) [LazyNomad] 12-1-2010(29): Hint: Actually the element - 喿 - is itself a rare kanji, that has the meaning of "chirping of birds" (see these little mouthes on the tree). On - ソウ/ ショウ Kun さわ.ぐ/ かしま.しい/すき.
