玄 = 亠 + 幺 : Xu Xian (xu) noticed that there is more and more black and mysterious (玄) lava (玄) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). To find out where the lava is coming from he draws tarot cards out of a beret (亠). He draws only aces (幺) though, and he doesn't really know how to interpret those.

舟

舟 = 丹 + ⺀ : Mnemonic symbol: 舟 looks like the tower of a yellow submarine.
