tread

On-Yomi: セン — Kun-Yomi: ふ.む

Koohii stories:

1) [smithsonian] 11-4-2007(140): The pirate with the wooden leg chased after the parade float and was run over by the next one, leaving tread marks all over him and his leg.

2) [blackstockc] 19-12-2007(122): Pirates must tread carefully when walking on parade floats, so as not to break through the weak plaster with their wooden legs.

3) [Christoph] 14-2-2007(50): Did Jesus actually tread on water? or maybe his wooden leg just allowed him to float.

4) [zz_alex_zz] 18-2-2008(14): At our natsu-matsuri they fixed auto-powered moving wooden legs to the parade float. It looked like a big festival insect and it was all great until it started going crazy and began to tread on all the little Japanese kids… I can still hear them screaming in terror.

5) [fuaburisu] 31-3-2006(11): Note: I am playing on the meaning of the keyword in order to remember it through a more graphic image. Someone dressed like a pirate (wooden leg) comes down from the pirate-themed float (a vehicle in a carnival), to check the tread on the tyres. The actual keyword meaning is a verb (i.e. "to trample", "to carry through").
