Meaning

Primary

Unlucky

Mnemonic

If you’re on the edge of a cliff with a snake, you’re unlucky. You’re hanging off the edge of this cliff and you can’t pull yourself back up when you notice a snake approaching your fingers. The snake looks like it’s gonna bite you. How unlucky.

Hints

What will you do? You can either let go and fall off the cliff, or get bit by the snake if you keep holding on. Man, you’re unlucky.

Readings

On’yomi

やく

Kun’yomi

None

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Even though you’re so unlucky, you decide to take your chances and let go of the cliff. Amazingly, a yak (やく) runs below you and catches you as you fall. Saved by the yak!

Hints

What a nice yak this is. Perhaps your luck has turned around. Perhaps you aren’t as unlucky as you thought. Your butt sure does hurt from that fall though…
