On-Yomi: チョウ

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 13-2-2008(17): Tip: New primitive: Let Tarzan = generation + tree – because Tarzan lives with several generations of his family at the top of a tree. (This combination appears five times: leaf (#228 葉), butterfly (#521 蝶), chatter (#2158 喋), secret agent (#2726 諜), label (FRAME 2926)). Story: You notice Tarzan is wearing his shirt inside-out and explain to him that clothes are one-sided and that he can tell by looking at the label.

2) [Megaqwerty] 30-9-2007(13): It is with mindless chatter (#2158 喋) that one-sided labels are attached to good, honourable people.

3) [gavmck] 22-3-2010(11): In botanic gardens, the trees have labels on one side (the side facing the path) so that upcoming generations will know what they are.

4) [penot] 26-9-2008(3): (let generation & tree = 'leaf' primitive, add the flower radical to make it a true "leaf" kanji) // Since ancient times, Labels have basically been one-sided leaves - with your name on one side of the leaf and nothing on the other side. // other leaf primitives : butterfly (#521 蝶), chatter (#2158 喋), secret agent (#2726 諜).

5) [kapalama] 3-12-2010(2): 符牒 label (#2926 牒) チョウ( 枼) … Parts: 片 , 枼 (cf: 枼, 葉 leaf (#228 葉), 蝶 butterfly (#521 蝶), 喋る chatter (#2158 喋), 防諜 secret agent (#2726 諜),). … Similars: 札 tag (#212 札), 符牒 label (#2926 牒) … Story: (枼=Leaf, abbrev. from 葉 ) If you are using Leafs to write your Labels, you can only use one side, because the other side has those veins on it.
