liner

On-Yomi: ハク

Elements:

liner, boat, white, dove

Heisig story:

The type of boat connoted by this key word is a large oceangoing liner. The important thing here is to work with the elements boat and dove to make an image distinct from that of the former frame. Don't count on size alone to distinguish the boat from the liner.

Koohii stories:

1) [Transtic] 28-4-2008(170): The most famous LINER is the Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sunk. Just imagine that huge LINER strucking an even huger mass of white ice.

2) [Matthew] 1-7-2006(92): A liner is to boat as an emperor (#261 皇) is to a king (#255 王), or a chief (#967 伯) is to a person (#951 人): in each case we need only add white to the latter in order to get the former.

3) [Shibo] 20-6-2008(57): Cruise Liners are huge boats that always seem to be white.

4) [adrianbarritt] 29-8-2007(44): Titanic was a big boat built by the White Star Line.

5) [DeKleft] 5-12-2007(9): Noah's Ark was probably the first boat ever that might be considered a liner. Hey! there's the white dove that Noah sent out, and he has an olive branch in his beak!
