flag The pictographic representation of this element is obvious. Provided you can hold your imagination in check for the first example, you might best imagine your own national flag in composing your stories. [3]

Heisig story:

Flag . . . water.

Koohii stories:

1) [DrJones] 5-1-2008(237): Animals use their urine to mark their territory. So for them, their body water works as a flag denoting their "country" (why bother? we all know which story you are going to pick).

2) [chamcham] 15-9-2006(128): Someone is pissing on the American flag, but since the urine is clear it looks like water.

3) [Shibo] 23-5-2008(80): The flag primitive looks like a big "P". And, let's face it, urine is just pee water. So, "Urine = P Water". Yes, it's stupid, but I don't think I'm gonna forget it now, haha. (I renamed the flag primitive "pee", it makes for unforgettable stories).

4) [samuize] 27-7-2007(30): Animals use urine as a "watery flag".

5) [dshill99] 20-8-2008(22): Urine is water that flags your territory.
