Meaning

Primary

Stab

Mnemonic

There is a head pinned to a tree by a knife. This person has been stabbed! They were stabbed so hard that they were pinned to the tree here.

Hints

Imagine how much force you would need to stab someone to have the knife and go all the way through them and pin their head to a tree. That's a lot of force.

Readings

On’yomi

し

Kun’yomi

さ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You want to know who did the stabbing, so you look around to see if the stabber is still in the area. But all you see is a sheep (し). Sheep can't stab people, right? They have hooves and probably can't pick up knives... right?

Hints

Imagine getting closer to the sheep and seeing blood on its wool. You squint your eyes and see some knives strapped to its back. Even closer and you see a little sign around its neck that says, "Hello, I'm the Stabbing Sheep." Uh oh.
