| Koohii Story 1 | If you work from Sun UP to Sun DOWN you will be prosperous. |
| Koohii Story 2 | I kept getting this mixed up with meanings like ´fortune´, so here is a fool proof story! Remember the Vulcan salute from ´Star Trek´ (a fiction of the sci-fi genre in which heavenly bodies such as SUNS play a huge role) used with the phrase ´live long and PROSPER´? If that´s not enough of a visual reminder, the Vulcan salute shows the fingers parted in to 2 sets of 2, and visually kind of looks like this kanji if you think about it. |
