Meaning

Primary

Normal

Alternatives

Ordinary, Usual

Mnemonic

A viking with a mouth towel is a totally normal thing. It's ordinary.

Hints

Vikings get a lot of nasty stuff on their mouths from their messy eating and pillaging, so it makes sense that they'd all have mouth towels. It's as ordinary and normal as it gets, at least amongst the vikings.

Mnemonic

It's normal for a viking to have a mouth towel, but your sloppy farmhand friend Jourm (じょう) has a mouth towel too. That's a habit that's only normal for vikings, so why does he have one?

Hints

When you ask Jourm about his Viking mouth towel, he just tells you, "It's ordinary for everyone to have mouth towels. Totally normal." Now that you think about it, he is a really messy dude, he probably needs it.
