1228. One small addition to these characters would make them very different. How? ⼇+一 メ+一+⽎ 食+ト+一 亡 言+ノ+一+乃


Answer:

⼇+一  The "Nabefuta" radical - lid, top / ICHI, ITSU, hito(tsu) - one

メ+一+⽎  Katakana "Me" / ICHI, ITSU, hito(tsu) - one / The "Rumata" radical - lance shaft, action

食+ト+一  SHOKU, JIKI, tabe(ru), ku(u) - eat, food / Katakana "To" or The "Boku" radical - oracle / ICHI, ITSU, hito(tsu) - one

亡  BOU, mou, na(i) - die, dead

言+ノ+一+乃  GEN, GON, i(u), koto - say, speech / Katakana "No" or The "No" radical - diagonal sweeping stroke / ICHI, ITSU, hito(tsu) - one / DAI, sunawachi - "That is,,,"

Add 小 (SHOU, chii(sai), ko - small) for a big change!
