| Keyword | Point |
| Koohii Story 1 | A point is a extra little hill at the top of a mountain. We´ll call it ´Fireman´s Point´. |
| Koohii Story 2 | This actually means a high mountain. So, to cater to the keyword, it´s surely obvious (ahem) that if something gets such a fine title as Point, it must be more magnificent than the average mountain. It´s as if there was a hill on top of an average mountain, adding to its height. |
