Mnemonic


[li-] Link is in [1] front of the [-(e)ng] English manor inside of a 亼 tepee that is on the lawn. Next to him is a 扌 finger that is trying to reach the top of the 亼 tepee (which has an opening) to get a view of the immaculate lawn. Link 拎 lifts with his hand the 扌 finger and tries to help it reach the top of the 亼 tepee, but is too short. So he 拎 lifts with his hand an 厶 elbow that is inside the 亼 tepee and uses that to help prop the 扌 finger up higher so it can reach the top.
