Koohii stories:

1) [chamcham] 29-4-2007(215): A pictograph of Wolverine's adamantium claws.

2) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(54): Pictograph, see book. * I prefer the primitive meaning of an eagle rather than vulture. Somehow vulture makes me think more about meat and dead corpses than claws. An eagle however immediately brings to my mind the image of an eagle plunging into a stream catching fish in his claws, or that of the great eagles rescuing Bilbo and his party in Jrr Tolkien's novel “Bilbo the Hobbit”.

3) [Nukemarine] 16-8-2007(18): Pictograph of a vulture's CLAW. The CLAW DROPS and leaves a STREAM of blood. *Primitive = vulture.

4) [PepeSeco] 25-1-2008(13): Use the "w" in claw to remember the shape of this kanji.

5) [meredithcat] 26-2-2010(5): A claw.
