Keeping up with my lessons!

[elfs]

So, I've been a bad Elf. Bad, naughty Elf. I've been doing my Kanji-of-the-day, but not documenting it properly. So, now I'm going to try and make up for it. Let's see if this works.

手

"Hand," pronounced "しゅ" standalone, and "て" in combination with other characters. Examples of use: 手中に (しゅちゅうに) "in the hands"; 手がみ (てがみ), "letter". When used as a "て" suffix, it may mean "occupation," "what one does with his hands:" 語リ手、(かたりて), "writer."

目

"Eye," pronounced "もく"or "め". Examples of use: "注目" (ちゅうもく), "attention."

白

"White," pronounced "しろ"in combination and "ハク"when standalone. Example word:白米 (はくまい), "white (polished) rice."
