Koohii stories:
1) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(150): A pelt is hooked on a branch. A small tent is made with a pelt and a branch planted in the ground. The mnemonic hints at the first stroke (the hanging pelt) and the hook at the end of the second stroke. This is chinese radical #107 meaning “skin”.
2) [myglagata] 14-5-2008(54): To be honest, this is one of those cases where I have found it easier to "just remember it" as a radical, as it occurs so frequently: 彼 （かれ him） 波 （なみ wave）and so on.
3) [howdycowdy] 18-4-2008(24): Davy Crocket used to hang his coon-skin PELT on a branch that had grown out over the edge of a cliff.
4) [Harrow] 17-2-2009(16): The head from the tiger pelt is hooked over the branch (tiger (#1990 虎) also has this hook on it), and the tiger's tail hangs down on the left. This is Hobbes pretending to be a pelt, which makes the image not so sad. See http://ezoons.com/images/wallpapers/calvin-tree.jpg.
5) [Howdoken] 13-2-2008(10): The pelt Jason travelled so far for was found hanging from the crooked branch of a tree, standing alone on a cliff.
