Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Aim true! This radical represents the tools of tradition and the precision of a ritual hunt. When you see it, think of solemn ceremonies, specific formulas and rules, and the act of "staking a claim" or catching something with deliberate care. It brings a sense of ancient order, focused action, and the "staking out" of a position to its characters.”
