| Koohii Story 1 | Like gold, silver is a metal. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Not sure why Heisig find the right side so troublesome. My grandma´s hairpin (just before long (#1920)) is made of silver, the metal that best reflects sun light. I´m sure you can see the flash from her hair as she walks by on a sunny day. Note that the two elements (sun and hairpin) share not only a horizontal stroke, but also the left vertical one. Therefore a bit odd stroke order. |
