word

On-Yomi: ゴ — Kun-Yomi: かた.る、かた.らう

Elements:

word, say, words, keitai, mouth, I, five, mouth, mouth2

Heisig story:

Whereas the character for say focused on the actual talking, that for words stresses the fact that although it is I who say them, the words of a language are not my own. You can see the clear distinction between I and words just by looking at the kanji.

Koohii stories:

1) [rosie] 28-7-2008(226): The simplest word to say is I.

2) [uchifly] 15-12-2009(43): Jesus said, "I am the WORD.".

3) [johanvg] 8-8-2006(28): May I say a word about that?

4) [taijuando] 15-2-2006(21): The rap group, the Five Mouths, always go around saying "word".

5) [Danieru] 9-12-2007(20): I, the perceiving subject, need all five senses to learn the WORDS and language of Japanese…. holistic learning, not just rote memory work!
