Elements:

phrase, bound up, mouth

Heisig story:

By combining the two primitives bound up and mouth, we can easily see how this character can get the meaning of a phrase. After all, a phrase is nothing more than a number of words bound up tightly and neatly so that they will fit in your mouth.

Koohii stories:

1) [Danieru] 31-10-2007(144): Some Japanese phrases are difficult to wrap your mouth around.

2) [shadolite] 25-12-2007(118): A bound mouth cannot utter a single phrase.

3) [atylmo] 1-4-2008(60): A phrase is a bunch of bound up words coming out of a mouth.

4) [NooNoo] 12-4-2008(13): I use my mouth to bind words together, thus forming a phrase or sentence ( 句 ).

5) [mukade] 10-7-2007(7): Bind your mouth in case the wrong phrase gets out.
