Meaning

Primary

Shout

Mnemonic

You have mouth vines, so you shout! It's hard for you to talk normally, and even harder for people to understand you unless you shout.

Hints

You were born with mouth vines (a rare condition where your mouth is always full of vines), so you've been shouting all your life. And yet people still can't hear you. It's very frustrating.

Mnemonic

You need to shout so that people can understand you through the mouth vines. You shout, "きょうと!" because you hear there is a temple there for people with your condition.

Hints

Imagine the word きょうと not coming out clearly because of your mouth vines. People can only hear the きょう part, so they don't know where you want to go. SHOUT LOUDER! きょうと！
