Readings

なん

Kun’yomi

みなみ

Nanori

None

Meaning Mnemonic

The cross you're holding above your head to keep your horns dry keeps pulling you south. Probably because it's warmer and less damp down south.

Hints

Look down and see the compass pointing south and feel the cross pulling you in that direction.

Reading Mnemonic

You finally make it down south, and it is dry, but you're really hungry. When you try to find southern food you realize every single store is only selling naan (なん).

Hints

Imagine being in the south and taking big bites of naan. It tastes good, but now your mouth is dry just like your horns. Too dry...
