Koohii stories:
1) [gaijinda] 17-10-2007(173): A Dr. missing his needle can only use dilute flower water for medicine.
2) [pm215] 15-2-2008(112): [As suggested by stehr and on the forum (http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=1079), we create a new keyword 'seaweed' for the flower on top and water below and to the left. See also fall (#299 落), clan (#1912 藩),seaweed (#2035 藻). This story is for people using that idea.] The homeopath (a doctor without any needle) specialises in dilute medicines. This one's an essence of seaweed – just dip the seaweed into the beaker, swish it about and remove. Barmy!
3) [stehr] 29-12-2007(94): Note This character belongs to a set of characters which share the flower/water primitive such as:: dilute (#227 薄), fall (#299 落), clan (#1912 藩), and seaweed (#2035 藻)…. ( 落 薄 藩 藻 ) It may be helpful to create a primitive keyword for this occurrence (like seaweed or watering can) which can save a lot of time distinguishing them from characters like Sino 満 and Full 満 , where the water primitive is larger than the flower primitive.
4) [wzafran] 17-6-2007(22): A man with thick blood dripping out of his hands visits an acupuncturist. "Please dilute my blood!" he says. The acupuncturist gives the man a seat, punctures his skin with many flower stems, and inserts a drop of cold water through the holes at the top of those stems. The man's blood becomes soft pink in colour . As too much blood had been diluted, he dies.
5) [AndamanIslander] 15-1-2008(19): A homeopathy specialist takes flowers and dilutes them in some water… (picture my hippie aunt with her homeopathist diluting flowers in water.).
