| Koohii Story 1 | A pelt is hooked on a branch. A small tent is made with a pelt and a branch planted in the ground. The mnemonic hints at the first stroke (the hanging pelt) and the hook at the end of the second stroke. This is chinese radical #107 meaning “skin”. |
| Koohii Story 2 | To be honest, this is one of those cases where I have found it easier to "just remember it" as a radical, as it occurs so frequently: 彼（かれ him）波（なみ wave）and so on. |
