On-Yomi: ガ — Kun-Yomi: われ、わ、わ.が-、わが-

Heisig story:

Hand . . . fiesta. Note how the second stroke of the hand is stretched across to double up as the first stroke of the tasseled arrow we use for fiesta. Compare to frames 17, 36, and 564.

Koohii stories:

1) [GhettoPenguin] 14-3-2007(498): Someone with a huge EGO is too good for any romantic partner and as such has nothing but personal "hand fiestas" with himself every night.

2) [frozach] 1-8-2007(50): Did you hear about the guy who had such a big EGO that he threw a fiesta for his left hand?

3) [dukelexon] 15-12-2007(29): At a truly excellent gay fiesta, hands are used to stroke more than just each other's egos. Graphic, perhaps … maybe even disturbing for a few of you more prudish/phobic types … but damned if it won't stick this way.

4) [haole] 21-1-2010(17): That guy has such a huge ego. He had to have a hand in everything to do with planning the fiesta.

5) [bigloui] 5-6-2006(12): The truly egotistical prefer a hand-fiesta to anything anyone else can give them. Ok, its not a lovely image, but its kind of memorable. Big ego: hand-fiesta.
