deceit

On-Yomi: ギ — Kun-Yomi: あざむ.く

Elements:

deceit, bushel basket, hamper, animal legs, eight, lack, yawn

Primitive:

bushel basket As the two legs at the bottom suggest, this bushel basket is a large container, standing on the floor. Its first four strokes indicate that it is made of wicker, much like the small wicker basket treated immediately above. To put something inside of the bushel basket, the legs at the bottom are attached to the final horizontal stroke and extended to make a kind of enclosure. [8]

Heisig story:

Bushel basket . . . yawn.

Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 11-3-2007(197): Kasparov practices deceit by grabbing your rook while pretending to yawn.

2) [astridtops] 13-3-2007(128): Every day, a smuggler takes bushel baskets on donkeys across the border. But the border patrols can never arrest him for lack of evidence no matter how much they search the bushel baskets: they can't find whatever he is smuggling. What was his deceit? He was smuggling donkeys!

3) [guidedog] 28-2-2007(82): Bushel-basket = pictograph of chess rook (running over the board). Trying to deceive the opponent with a yawn while positioning a rook on the board.

4) [mattimus] 14-11-2009(59): Note - everyone uses this primitive to symbolize chess/rook in the following frames (don't bother with "bushel basket").

5) [uberstuber] 21-6-2007(31): Deceit! Someone must have moved one of my chess pieces while I waws yawning!
