Meaning

Primary

Wall

Mnemonic

There are hot peppers hiding in this dirt, so you build a wall to protect yourself from them. Have you ever stepped on a really hot pepper? The oils bleed into your shoes and burn your feet! You don't want anyone stepping on these so you wall them up.

Hints

Picture yourself walking around and seeing a wall around some dirt. You look inside and there are some hot peppers hiding just below the surface. Phew! Good thing this wall was here to protect you from them.

Readings

On’yomi

へき

Kun’yomi

かべ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

On the other side of this wall there are much less threatening cobs (かべ) of corn. Corn isn't spicy. It's delicious and sweet, so it's free from being walled in.

Hints

Picture some corn cobs. Now picture some hot peppers. Put a wall between them.
