Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house, sitting in the bathtub, bathing. It is 夕 evening outside. As it turns to night, the bathroom water suddenly rises, due to 汐 night tide. The water 氵 sprays through the overhanging pipes all over the bathroom, even flowing over the bathtub rim. Xena had no idea that 汐 night tide can occur in a bathtub.
