Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 4-3-2007(39): A household spoon is used for the rudder of your model boat.

2) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(7): Tip: house + spoon : This combination of primitives appears four times in Heisig. REF: snake (#519 蛇), rudder (FRAME 2674), prevarication (#2718 詑), Shakyamuni Buddha (#2955 陀).

3) [Meconium] 23-2-2010(6): Let house + sitting on the ground = cold beer (because I like sitting on the porch under the shade of my roof drinking a cold beer. Also, I haven't used cold beer as a primitive yet, and surely that's blasphemy.) Story for rudder: The laconic fisherman heads upriver while relaxing in his boat, sitting back while the motor putts along, one hand on the rudder, the other on his cold beer.

4) [kapalama] 19-11-2010(2): 舵 (cf. 梶 ), 昇降舵 , 四輪操舵 , 操舵手 , 舵角 , 舵木 =梶木=旗魚, rudder (#2674 舵) ダ( 蛇 ), かじ … Parts: 舟 , 宀, 匕 (cf: 蛇 snake (#519 蛇), 詫 prevarication (#2718 詑), 陀 Shakyamuni Buddha (#2955 陀)) … Similar: 舵 rudder (#2674 舵), 梶 oar (#2502 梶) … Story: If you look at the Rudder from underwater vantage point, the rudder looks just like a giant Housed Spoon, with the rest of the Boat acting as the housing.

5) [koohiikun] 28-10-2010(2): If the rudder of your boat is a house-hold spoon, you'll always be ready to have seafood for dinner!
