1907. Can't see the wood for the trees? That could be the problem here! 夂 九+隹 メ+殳 呑+冋 昜


Answer:

夂  The "Nomata" radical - to follow

九+隹  KYUU, KU, kokono(tsu) - nine / The "Furutori" radical - small bird

メ+殳  Katakana "Me" / The "Rumata" radical - lance shaft, action

呑+冋  DON, no(mu) - to drink / KEI, KYOU, enagamae, dougamae, masagamae - desert, prairie

昜  YOU - to open out, to expand, bright, glorious

Adding a tree (木 MOKU, BOKU, ki - tree) to these characters lets them branch out in a new direction!

枚  MAI - counter for flat objects

雑  ZATSU, ZOU - miscellany, mix

殺  SATSU, SAI, koro(su) - kill

橋  KYOU, hashi - bridge

楊  YOU, a(geru) - raise. fry, rise
