both

On-Yomi: リョウ — Kun-Yomi: てる、ふたつ

Elements:

both, street, nail, spike, belt, shovel

Primitive:

shovel This enclosure--which embraces its relative primitive from the bottom--is a pictograph of the scoop of a shovel. When room permits, the arms are extended upwards to nearly the same height as the relative element it holds. [2]

Heisig story:

Ceiling . . . belt . . . mountain. Note that the writing order follows the order in which the primitives are given here.

Koohii stories:

1) [synewave] 26-8-2006(276): Primatives celing; belt; mountain as per Cumulative Errata. See volfy post for link. Both effective ways to commit suicide, hang your self from the celing with your belt or jump off a mountain.

2) [PepeSeco] 19-2-2008(37): Under one ceiling both took off their belts in Brokeback Mountain.

3) [smithsonian] 14-5-2007(36): Be careful with this one. The correct primitive order is ceiling . . . belt . . . mountain. That said, in the Mario video games, there are some levels where spikes hang from the ceiling and there are large conveyor belts. One example is Koopa Mountain. Imagine both Mario and Luigi trying to get through the level unscathed.

4) [volfy] 2-4-2006(26): Matticus, the errata at www.nanzan-u.ac.jp/ SHUBUNKEN/publications/miscPublications/ Remembering_the_Kanji_1.htm reflects your view of how the character should be written. Everyone should take a look and correct all the listed errors in the book.

5) [bihzad] 12-3-2008(16): Both the ceiling of heaven and the mountains are belted to the Earth.
