Koohii stories:

1) [ikmys] 16-4-2007(98): You ever wondered why this appeared as a primitive in so many RTK1 kanji? Well, you should know that once a vulture grabs hold of a tree, he can never let go. Even Heisig couldn't shake him loose.

2) [Kurisu] 12-5-2008(30): A common meaning for this kanji is 'DICE'. — Ever wonder what vultures do up in the trees? They play DICE. But of course, being vultures, they are always grabbing the dice away from each other.

3) [crystalcastlecreature] 2-3-2009(23): The gigantic VULTURE swoops down and grabs that huge TREE!! AAAAH!!

4) [kumakuma] 25-11-2008(5): Like a VULTURE, she grabed my WOOD! Boy, you cannot stop her.

5) [Meconium] 14-7-2009(3): In a particularly lame X-Men comic, Wolverine is in a tree, and Sabretooth is trying to shake him out of it. Wolverine grabs the tree trunk as tightly as he can so he doesn't fall out.
