Meaning Mnemonic

A forehead table is completely superfluous.

Hints

Seriously, you don't need a forehead table. It's totally unnecessary to have a table made of foreheads and is a superfluous purchase. First of all, getting all those foreheads is a waste of people. Second, forehead tables aren't very strong. Superfluous, superfluous, superfluous.

Reading Mnemonic

The only person you know with a superfluous forehead table is Jourm (じょう), the ten foot tall, simple farmhand.

Hints

Now that you think about it, it's really odd. You went to his house and saw this forehead table. Then Jourm said, "Ah this? It's a superfluous purchase. Don't mind it." You've never heard him say any word above a third grade level, let alone a fancy word such as superfluous. Also, the table made of foreheads is a bit... strange. You'll have to keep your eye on Jourm.
