1) [vosmiura] 30-10-2007(238): Horror scene: Hanging from the ceiling, a plough and fishhook dripping with blood down onto the tiled bathroom floor.

2) [penot] 28-11-2008(176): [true stroke order] First draw T for Tile, which then becomes I. Then draw an 'L' fish hook with a dash in the middle to make a mediocre 'e' that few can see.//ガ wa3 와 (wa).

3) [Biene] 5-5-2008(96): Note: This tile means roof-tile (e.g. 屋根瓦 ), not the ones you put on the floor. Hanging from the ceiling of an old shed are a rusty plow and some tangled up fishhooks. Since the tiles on the roof are old and broken some rainwater is leeking through and you can see drops glistening between the plow and the fishhooks.

4) [raulir] 24-5-2006(18): As said in errata, this is ceiling+plow+fishhook+a drop of (and stroke order goes accordingly). A plow is fixed on the ceiling and a fishhook is hanging on the plow, drawing a drop of blood from it (if animals can talk, why can't plows bleed? :-).

5) [tharvey] 4-7-2009(11): Simple ~ spell out the word. First draw a T, then add a line on the bottom to change it to an I. Draw an L (the fishhook shape) then go back and add a dash beside the I, like adding the center dash of an E.
