The bird drinks
a bottle of sake
every evening.
Written by: Karlla
Although the sake radical is related to a flask of alcohol /シュウ→ユウ, it is primarily associated with the rooster とり in the Chinese zodiac. Think of the waning moon setting in the
west
西
as a
half-full
bottle of Sriracha to remember this.
West 西 is the tenth point 🕘 on the twelve-point compass, representing the two hour period around 18:00, or 5–7PM, about the time the sun sets in the west, and making the tenth earthly branch, the second month of autumn.

みの/ひよみのとり bird of the zodiac

Reading: ユウ. Modern Chinese uses to mean unity, from the English pronunciation of “u.” Remember this with double-u(W)for west, or maybe Western UNION→ユウ.

(*luʔ)
ユウ← /i̯ə̯uᵡ/ ← *luʔ
It looks like a bottle, a sake bottle!
The
cap
, the actual
bottle
and the
liquid inside
. You {ユウ} didn't see that one coming, huh? Neither did the bird {とり}.
Written by: 【サラ☆】
YOU {ユウ} need to hop in a time machine and visit the old Wild
West
西

Written by: こはく

西
