On-Yomi: キュウ

Koohii stories:

1) [daredawg3583] 19-5-2008(276): This Kanji is the same ones used in the Japanese Language proficiency tests; i.e. ikkyuu ( 一級 ) The Kanji doesnt describe class as in a "class of students" or "classroom," but rather a grade of quality or ability. ———- Spiderman is taking the JLPT Level 1. In desperation he REACHES OUT to grab his friend's answer sheet next to him, who seems to be doing well. The other test takers are obviously a class above him. Looks like this test is above his class of knowledge.

2) [jamiemw] 17-9-2007(65): Spiderman with his arm stretched out showing the class how he produces webs.

3) [mantixen] 23-9-2008(59): Spider-Man reaches out to every class, rich and poor.

4) [akira] 25-12-2007(22): Spiderman stretching his arms at different length produces a different class of web.

5) [taikura] 14-1-2009(20): Class, grade, rank. Members of a particular class or rank are connected (as if by a thread) by their similarities and common circumstances; and often, by the extent to which they will reach out and exert themselves to new heights. 下級 (low grade). 学級 (school class). 勤労階級 (working class). 最高級 (top class). 審級 (instance). 上級 (advanced level, senior). 中級 (intermediate level). 飛び級 (skipping a grade). 上の級に進む (to move up to a higher grade).
