Meaning

Copy

Mnemonic

The beggar is pointing his forehead up at you, his feet trapped in the ground. What diabolical scheme are you planning with this poor beggar you trapped? Turns out, you're planning to copy him to have your own version of him.

Hints

You can imagine the whole story - him walking along, you setting a trap... and then whamo! You catch him. Then, come up with some crazy way / invention you're going to copy him. Are you cloning? Are you just taking his skin? Are you removing his forehead to grab his brain? Up to you - just make sure you make it ridiculous enough to remember.

Readings

On’yomi

しゃ

Kun’yomi

うつ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

To remember the reading しゃ, we use the word "shaman".

You finally decide on how you're going to copy him. You hire a shaman (しゃ) and have the shaman perform a sacred shaman cloning ritual.

Hints

The shaman runs around for a bit, doing ridiculous things. Imagine it dancing about and mumbling shamanic chants as the beggar is copied.
