Meaning Mnemonic

Your car is dry because you kept it under the eaves of your house.

This kanji has a second meaning too: house counter. Imagine counting all the houses on your block by the number of eaves you see keeping cars dry.

Hints

One eave, one house. Two eaves, two houses.

Reading Mnemonic

On top of the eaves of your house Ken (けん) the samurai is counting houses too.

Hints

Ken hops down and explains that he's been hired to count all the houses in his lord's domain just because his name is the same as the counter for houses. It isn't really fair, he complains to you, as you try to sneak by and lock him out of your house.
