1) [ruisu] 14-11-2007(461): Stop

spooning

turkeys. Spoon females.

2) [samuize] 25-2-2007(124): To become feminine you must stop using a spoon to eat turkey and use a knife and fork like a proper lady.

3) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(50): Tip: stop/footprint + spoon : This combination of primitives appears seven times in Heisig, including as a separate character, which he names this here (#2043 此). REF: feminine/female (FRAME 563), purple (#1375 紫), brushwood (#2044 柴), fort (#2045 砦), whit (#2046 些), beard (#2047 髭).

4) [fuaburisu] 11-10-2005(43): Oh I love this one, it's so silly but fun to picture. Imagine a turkey walking in the snow (in the North pole for example) wearing spoons for snowshoes. Turkeys have small feet so they can use spoons as snowshoes, right ? Now you're looking down at the footprints left by the spoon-wearing turkey who is walking off in the distance, and you think to yourself that those footprints look feminine : curvy and slender.

5) [Kurisu] 13-3-2008(21): Mother to daughter - 'You are not a 雌 （めす） female animal! Now stop sitting on the ground with those turkeys; its not feminine!'———–Building from Katsuo's tip about how (stop spoon) is used often and later becomes (FRAME 2043)=This here； used for the words ここ、これ＆この maybe we should imagine the daughter｀s name is ここ＝此 .
