1) 亠 "tóu" meaning lid; is Kangxi radical #8
What comes below is anyone's guess, but occasionally you'll see it above
Nevertheless this is about generating mnemonics and stories, and "tou-kou"can be warped into "Tucker", and Mr Tucker
can get involved in various different schemes.
2) 宀 "mián" which means roof; is Kangxi radical #40. Could be adapted for use as in "me-and ..." or Myanmar
3) Then there's 竹 "zhú" which means bamboo or flute; is Kangxi radical #118.
It consists of a pair of 亇 "gè" symbols
But the magic starts when this 竹 is squished up to the top of a character, as in
等 děng when it starts to look remarkably like a pair of "A"s. I used to think it was, but
the stroke order is downL-across-downR (or piě-héng-nà to be correct) not downL-downR-across.
Now in the UK, the "AA" is a motoring organisation, and that opens up a range of possibilities,
(see story "Dundee") especially where in this instance where its got a "Tucson base".
口 "kŏu" for a mouth;
which would give us "tou-kou".
Unfortunately kowtow for a deep bow (forehead to the ground) consists of different characters
叩头 "kòutóu".
(The 亇 "gè" is an alternative for the ubiquitous 个 "gè", meaning single, piece )
However, this J-type symbol is actually the dreaded "kwukyel" that you may have come across before.
A "kwukyel" is apparently an old Korean hanja-based script for "hammer" (MDBG.net).
