cape

On-Yomi: キ — Kun-Yomi: さき、さい、みさき

Elements:

cape, soil, dirt, ground, strange, large, St. Bernard, street, nail, spike, mouth

Heisig story:

The cape pictured here is a jut of land like Cape Cod. The soil on the left tells us we have to do with land, and the strange on the right tells us it is a cape where unusual things go on. Put a haunted house on it, an eerie sky overhead, and a howling wind rustling through the trees, and you have yourself a picture of Cape Strange (or, if you prefer, Cape Odd).

Koohii stories:

1) [frychiko] 3-7-2008(160): This refers to LAND, not the STRANGE gear superheroes wear.

2) [usis35] 27-5-2007(77): Cape Cod "odd" is a land where odd=strange things happen.

3) [uchifly] 18-1-2009(57): A CAPE is a piece of LAND that stands out STRANGLY in the sea.

4) [DrWarrior12] 4-8-2007(43): It's quite strange. When I go to Cape Odd, I always end up soiling myself!

5) [thegreatkaizo] 19-7-2008(20): What the hell does the NASA do at Cape Canaveral? The soil there looks kinda strange…
