Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, which she has recently bought. She is trying to improve business, so today she is giving 咸 everybody who visits the shop and buys anything at all a 咸 blowgun. Xena, isn't it dangerous to give 咸 everyone a 咸 blowgun? At least she isn't also giving them poison darts... oh wait, it looks like she is.
