锅 = 呙 + 钅 : Gitta Giraffe (gu) wants to cook some food in front of the observatory (o1). She has a pot (锅), but not a fireplace, so she quickly makes a fire and uses three golden harpoons (钅) to provide a base for her pot. The three golden harpoons stick with very different angles in the earth, so the pot sits on the fire very lopsided (呙).
