pit
On-Yomi: コウ
Elements:
pit, soil, dirt, ground, whirlwind, top hat, wind
Primitive:
top hat @ The broad rim and tall top of the top hat is pictured graphically here in these two simple strokes. At this point, by the way, you can revert back to FRAME 6 六. If you have had any trouble with that character, you now have the requisite elements to make a story: Six suggests the number of spider’s legs; just set a tall silk top hat on the crawling creature and you have your character. [2]
Heisig story:
A whirlwind begins to dig its way into the soil like a drill until it makes a deep pit.

(and for the primitive:) A whirlwind is made by a magician from his top hat, he holds it up and a ferocious wind whirls out of it, messing up the attire of everyone in the front row. [RTK2 #221, pure group, コウ. signal primitive whirlwind is コウ because you will get コウght in it unless you are at the very コウ=core].
