Mnemonic


[l-] Legolas is in the [3] basement of the [-(e)i] beach house where he is digging into the sandy bottom with an silver elvish shovel. He finds three 石 stones as he digs in the sand which he tosses into the corner, forming a 磊 pile of stones. As he digs further into the damp sandy ground, he finds more 石 stones and his 磊 pile of stones grows ever larger. What is he even looking for?
