On-Yomi: フン、デシメートル — Kun-Yomi: こ、こな

Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 12-4-2007(189): Parts of parts of parts of parts of rice… is flour. (Image: geishas patting their face with RICE flour to make it white. Not wheat flour…).

2) [smithsonian] 9-4-2007(59): In the United States, part of every meal is made from flour.

3) [Shibo] 13-5-2008(54): In Japan, rice flour is part of a balanced diet. Mmmm, mochi…

4) [dwhitman] 25-11-2007(40): Only part of the rice is used to make flour. The hull and bran are discarded. I have trouble with the positioning of the primitives. Remember that "rice" is the main topic, and gets the strong left-hand position.

5) [Georgi87] 13-4-2008(14): To make sure you don't think of wheat instead of RICE for this one, just consider that wheat is a foreign substance in Japan, so naturally their flour is RICE FLOUR. Anyway, what is rice flour but rice crushed to teeny tiny little bits/parts?
