Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to put a 大 big second-hand object into his 口 mouth. He succeeds, but he can't swallow it down his 咽 throat. It gets stuck halfway until he coughs out the 大 big object, spitting it out from his 咽 throat and 口 mouth onto the patchy pawn shop lawn.
