inmost

On-Yomi: チュウ

Elements:

inmost, ten, needle, mouth, scarf

Heisig story:

Between the top hat and the scarf you will see the character for in which is truncated at the bottom so as not to interfere with the scarf. You can think of this character forming as a pair with that of the former frame: there the in (the walking stick in the mouth) was set on its side; here it is set upright.

Koohii stories:

1) [radical_tyro] 17-7-2007(267): The guy from pathetic (#401 哀) shared his inmost feelings with a girl and she rammed a walking stick down his throat. It ruptured his inmost organs.

2) [Zactacular] 4-10-2007(59): Besides making money from acting like a dog (see decline), the pathetic man has risked his inmost internal organs by becoming a cane swallower!

3) [dingomick] 12-4-2007(45): I'm going with 9 strokes: the magician pulled 10 scarves from the inmost part of his mouth.

4) [cangy] 18-4-2008(35): Note: Incorrect stroke order and count in book. Is written one, mouth, walking stick, scarf, with 9 strokes. [It evolved from a combination of garment and in (meaning undergarments), so maybe it used to be written as described in the book…].

5) [SammyB] 22-10-2008(11): The pathetic emo guy is always talking about his inmost feelings. Sometimes I want to shove a walking stick in his mouth to stop him talking.
