Mnemonic


[ju-] Julius Caesar is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house where he is looking for some new military strategies. He finds a 且 bookshelf of military books in the basement in the corner next to some boxes. He grabs a book and begins 咀 to chew on it with his 口 mouth, hoping that by literally 咀 chewing the book he can also figuratively 咀 chew and digest what is in it. It looks like Caesar is senile, or perhaps this is some strange Roman custom.
