On-Yomi: ユ、ユウ、ユイ — Kun-Yomi: よし、よ.る

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 13-11-2007(155): "Wherefore art thou, Sprouteo?" (Juliet has fallen in love with a brussel sprout) (OR: A brussel sprout has fallen from Juliet's dinner plate and rolled off).

2) [DrJones] 16-1-2008(152): "Cogito ergo sum." Wherefore is a bad choice here for two reasons. For one, it's often mistranslated as "where" when in fact it's an urge to know a cause or reason; and two, because this kanji represents the reason, not the urge. [A thought sprouts from my brain. I think, therefore I am.].

3) [radical_tyro] 4-7-2007(37): Errata: Stroke order in 4th edition is wrong. The vertical stroke is #3. (story: dingomick).

4) [dingomick] 26-4-2007(30): "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" says Juliet on her balcony as she plucks brussel sprouts instead of rose petals. (This takes on the primitive of the much more memorable BRUSSEL SPROUT).

5) [Viking101] 16-2-2010(18): Wherefore art thou, Romeo. He's in the rice field. You can see his hair sticking up above the rice. New Primitive: Romeo.
