Koohii Story 1 Follow the springs down the cliff and you will find a nice meadow.
Koohii Story 2 Sorry about this, but Heisig was stupid calling this kanji meadow, used in composite words the most common meaning is ORIGIN... To remember just think that life may have begun in pounds or springs in a land with many cliffs ... Just to answer correctly the review lessons think of meadow as the origin of a huge forest.
