Accepted Answer

ジョウ straw rope, cord 1 1075 15 120 いと・いとへん 形声 Phonetic The tortoise has escaped! We tied it up with a straw rope, but all that´s left of the rope are some torn threads, and the unbound tortoise is nowhere to be found. (Note that the right half here is not "eels". This is (in my opinion) a mistake in the RTK book, as we already decided in waterfall (#537) to refer to the simplified form of dragon as "eels". It is much better to call the right half of this character an "unbound tortoise".). 1377
