watch over

On-Yomi: カン — Kun-Yomi: み.る

Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(255): It's a hot day of summer with a clear sky, you're sitting outside a cafe (or maybe on a reclining chair in the garden), and you watch over the kids with a hand covering your eyes from the sunlight (next time, don't forget the sunglasses).

2) [blackstockc] 10-10-2007(84): Think of the monster from Pan's Labrynth, that watched over the poor girl with eyes in the palm of his hands.

3) [captal] 10-4-2008(68): I picture a lifeguard standing in his tower with his hand over his eyes, watching over the swimmers below (might work better for Australians- picturing that distinctive yellow and red cap).

4) [Megaqwerty] 19-5-2007(42): My parents watch over me: whenever bad things are on the TV, they put a hand over my eyes.

5) [submacrolize] 13-6-2010(18): It's a Hamsa, that hand shaped trinket from the Middle East that WATCHES OVER the wearer and protects against the evil eye. If you've never seen one, check this out and this kanji is yours: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa.
