251. Why do these five kanji look lonely? 主 為 寸 更 共


Answer:

主  SHU, nushi, omo - lord, main

為  I - do, act

寸  SUN - unit of length

更  KOU, sara, fu(kasu), fu(keru) - anew, again, grow late

共  KYOU, tomo - together, both, all

Add a person (ninben; イ) to each to make another kanji.

住  JUU, sumu - live

偽  GI, itsuwa(ru), nise - lie, fake, misrepresent

付  FU, tsu(ku) - attach, belong

便  BIN, BEN, tayo(ri) - convenience, excrement, news

供  KYOU, tomo, sona(eru) - offer, retinue, attendant
