Heisig story:

House . . . head . . . dagger. Immediately we get another instance of a very odd exception. Notice how the final stroke of the head is lengthened, giving the final two strokes a chance to stretch out and make room for the dagger that fits in beneath.

Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 26-5-2007(295): The new widow sits in the house, her head in her lap (the extended stroke), her dagger in her husband.

2) [narafan] 28-7-2007(49): The house's head, her husband, was murdered with a dagger. You can still see the drops of blood above the dagger. She is now a widow.

3) [wazato] 3-10-2007(44): Extending Megaqwerty's story, the widow sits in the house with her head leaned forward in her lap so that her long pig-tails are stretched out to the floor. In between her pig-tails lies the dagger used to kill her husband.

4) [mikemorr] 22-8-2009(36): The widow is head of the house now that she's been parted from her husband. part (#781 分).
