On-Yomi: カン — Kun-Yomi: わ

Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 27-11-2008(253): Together with the next kanji, the keywords spell “send back the ring”. First we have a jewel. Next we have the great eye of Sauron searching for the fellowship hiding under the many ceilings during their journey. The fourth and fifth primitives are the mouth of Gollum always mumbling “My preciousss”; and Pippin's scarf! Placement: the eye appears at the top similarly to how the Great Eye of Sauron is perched atop the Dark Tower.

2) [meolox] 15-12-2007(137): In conjunction with send back (#837 還)……. When I tried to give her the jewel ring, she eyed me, threw it to the floor, opened her mouth and tried to speak, she said nothing. She grabbed her scarf and left.

3) [saranich] 19-11-2006(83): The Saudi woman accepted the marriage ring, though it meant lowering her eyes to the floor and covering her mouth with a scarf.

4) [Es2Kay] 20-2-2011(38): There's no "jewel" in this kanji!! It's a "king" you idiots!

5) [Spidercat] 15-1-2008(26): The one ring is the jewel that the eye of Sauron, above the ceiling of his tower, is searching for. To get it back, Sauron sends his nazguls, whose insubstantial mouths are hidden behind a scarf.
