Nov 19, Sat of Week 8 of Fall 2022 
- うたわれるもの (Steam)
Another 1+1 hour. Viewing backlog and audio replaying is a big pro. Even without audio, backlog is quite handy. Not everything are felt to be look up upfront, but might want to look up in retrospect.
To-be-remembered vocabularies
- 力作 no audio nor Furigana in context, but probably りきさく (rather than りょうさく )
- 催促 pressing on to participate
- 軋る squeak like a mice (?) going on a horse (騎士). Probably Kanji 軋 (アツ) is of importance too (rub to heat (熱さ), e.g. 軋轢.
- 拠点 the Kanji is also used in 根拠 and 証拠
- 豪勢 extravagant, but sound almost like synthetic (合成) or solid (剛性) – different pitches?
- 肯く is 頷く with Kanji for 肯定
- 僭越 how war (戦争) winner (越える) feels
- 特盛り “special” portion size (盛り)
- 飴色 colored like brown sugar syrup 水飴
- 発泡 second Kanji is 泡 (あわ); the sound is from phonetic component
- 柑橘類 Kanji 1 from from 蜜柑 (みかん), Kanji 2 from 橘 (たちばな). Second Kanji On’yomi mnemonic though, perhaps “harshly” (キツい) citrus.
- 水平線 has on-land counterpart 地平線
- 物見遊山 third Kanji has shortened sound (ゆ). Can be split to 物見 and 遊山
- 桃源郷 First Kanji is 桃 (もも), but I have heard Chinese-derived in my native tongue, and perhaps also Mandarin Chinese itself. Throw もも into Paradise (a restaurant chain name).
- 億劫 hundred mil pains, hundred mil cries. Kanji 劫 is usually read differently (劫略, 永劫)
- 釈然とする : 解釈に当然
- 連なる stretch out… through 貫き通す. 連なり means stretch / range.
- 竈 [かまど] Opening (戸) of boiling water pot (釜); otherwise, fire (火) window (窓). Another reading of importance is へっつい, but has Furigana (for the first reading) in context.
- 脳裏(に浮かぶ) to the distance (里 measurement) of one’s brain (脳). り is a useful On’yomi as well, e.g. 表裏, 秘密裏.
- 柄杓 not (非) a ladle, but actually a ladle (杓).
- 揉みほぐす rub (massage) and hug
- 大らか like an 大人
- 帳場 (ちょうば) The first Kanji is from 手帳 or 帳面.
- 虚ろ use (う) two (ツー) voids
- 戦慄 shiver because of psychoactive (moody) chestnut (栗) in war (戦争). Melodic (旋律) shiver.
- 無性に (むしょうに) 根性ありません, uses different reading from 無性 (むせい) regarding 性別
- 熾る [おころ] to catch fire (physically), comparing with of anger (怒る)
- 蕩ける [とろける] think of 溶ける, but with お湯 in 風呂
- 鉛 fresh lea–d
- 塩梅 lots of salty plums on rice bowl, made by sempai, tasting like sweet candy (餡). No Furigana in context too.
- 磨る = 擦る, but with the Kanji for 磨く
- 無粋 buu… (sound made with mouth) unpure (純粋), so unromantic
Forgotten ones
- 誤魔化す can also mean, to evade; more than to deceive
- 大所帯 Second time I see this. Just brute force to remember, for now.
- 委ねる You (ゆ) don’t (だ) need (ね) to do it, just leave it to me.
- 手際 depending (～際) on the edge (際) of the hand (手), but not really – you have done well
- 怪訝 weird mood (機嫌), weird feeling (気 [け]), with elegance (優雅)
- 滅入る feeling of everything destroyed (滅) coming in (入る)
- 咀嚼 [そしゃく] has Furigana in context. Chewing since long ago, since grandpa (祖父) of the baron (伯爵).
Phrases
- 四則演算 four rules (原則, ～則) for toying with calculation (演算)
- 物見遊山 see above
- 腹の虫が鳴く JMdict says 腹の虫が鳴る is OK too. 腹の虫 also has other phrases, e.g. 腹の虫が治まらない.

- 野垂れ死に uses 死ぬ in context
