Meaning

Primary

Sell

Mnemonic

There’s a samurai with (just) his forehead and legs. Everything in between is missing. What happened to everything in between? He was low on money, so he had to sell it all, leaving him with only the top and the bottom.

Hints

Imagine this terrifying samurai. You have legs… okay, that’s normal. But, then you have just a giant forehead on the top of everything else, walking around. It's pretty scary that someone would sell such important parts of their body.

Readings

On’yomi

ばい

Kun’yomi

う

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

If you see a samurai trying to sell all their body parts here's what you should say, "Bye (ばい)!" and just get the heck out of there. Actually, if anyone tries to sell you a body part you should probably say bye over and over until you can get away from them.

Hints

Imagine saying, "Bye," loudly into the forehead of a samurai trying to sell you the rest of their face. If you say it loud enough it will distract them while you run away.
