bamboo

On-Yomi: チク — Kun-Yomi: たけ

Koohii stories:

1) [johnzep] 30-6-2008(99): Pandas like to eat bamboo. I'm using panda as the primitive name when it fits the story. ^__^.

2) [kanjihito] 5-7-2009(39): Two reclining victims impaled by bamboo spikes.

3) [brian44] 18-11-2007(36): Since this is a really common kanji and so easy to remember on its own, I just remembered it by it's reading, which is たけ.

4) [FoxintheStars] 27-9-2010(9): I see this pictographically. Stroke 1: leaf. Stroke 2: joint of stalk. Stroke 3: section of stalk. And it's doubled because it comes in groves (just as you double "tree" to make "grove").

5) [bigpapalove17] 10-10-2010(6): Oh NO, NO (think katakana), two pieces of BAMBOO stabbed TJ.
