Meaning

Primary

Fasten

Mnemonic

Someone's fingers touch your tongue and fasten it together. You can't talk. All you can do is make sad tongue-less sounds as you try to figure out who would fasten your tongue like this.

Hints

Try to fasten your own tongue with your fingers right now. You probably can't do it, right? That's because your fingers are too big and your tongue is too slippery.

Readings

On’yomi

かつ

Kun’yomi

くく

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Only one creature could use its fingers to fasten your tongue like this: cats (かつ). Cats are notorious for fastening tongues so that people can't speak. Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "Cat got your tongue?"

Hints

In this case, many cats fastened your tongue. You should probably be nicer to cats from now on so this doesn't happen again.
