Meaning

Primary

Swell

Mnemonic

Play your drum under the moon and your hair will swell! The more you play and the longer it's under the moon, the larger your hair will swell.

Hints

Have you been suffering from flat, boring hair? Well do I have the swelling treatment you've been looking for!

Readings

On’yomi

ぼう

Kun’yomi

ふく

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Using this method, your hair swells so much it looks like a giant bowling (ぼう) ball is sitting on top of your head. It's all round, and well... swollen is probably the only word that fits.

Hints

Imagine watching your hair swell to the size of a large bowling ball. Imagine never being able to go bowling again because the comparison is too easy for people to make.
