lineage

On-Yomi: ケイ

Elements:

lineage, stick, drop, thread, spiderman

Heisig story:

The single stroke added to the beginning of the primitive for thread gives the image of threads woven into a single cord. Hence the meaning, lineage.

Heisig comment:

* As a primitive, we shall give this kanji the meaning of yarn, as the uniting of many threads into a single strand is most obvious with yarn.
