Koohii stories:

1) [ibardell] 27-7-2007(260): The cottage is so small - it has an umbrella for the roof; soil for the floor and room for only one mouth.

2) [astgtciv] 13-11-2006(57): Picture a lidded crock full of tasty cottage cheese… yum! Now all we need is an umbrella over it to protect the cottage cheese from the sun.

3) [Thunderball] 15-9-2007(25): The homeless man stuck an umbrella over his lidded crock in the country side and declared it his cottage. It looks just like a shack (しゃ) though! Under local government legislation, after 7 years, the "cottage" and land were his.

4) [tharvey] 18-6-2009(18): I call it my cottage, but it's really just an umbrella over a dirty hole in the ground.

5) [elitentity] 31-1-2006(14): To further Heisig's explanation, imagine a cottage made out of a giant lidded crock and an umbrella. The mouth can also represent a door.
