Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in the [3] basement of the [-(e)ng] English manor where she is tending a secret 田 rice field that is hidden among the dusty statues. Suddenly a 扌 finger jumps out from the 田 rice field and into Xena's 自 nose. Xena struggles to get it out by 擤 blowing the nose. She 擤 blows the nose as hard as she can and the 扌 finger shoots out and lands on an ancient 丌 pedestal that is next to one of the dusty statues.
