    黽 黾

    měng is a Chinese character for frog or toad

    another one i’m a bit blown away by but might not be totally accurate

    Guo, for dog, is like a dog lieing down, 犭, the character for mouth, 口 and the character meaning ‘wrap’ 勹, like your arms wrapped around your mouth talking to a dog, who obviously understands you

    I also really like

    kàn meaning ‘to look’, which is the character for hand 手 above the character for eye 目 🫡

    I’ve been practaticing a lot this year and I’m finally starting to get some of this to click
