Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.
In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.

Joan of Arc (ji) just arrived at the space station and has to register (籍) in the kitchen (Ø2). Her duty on the space station will be to plow a field (耤) using a bamboo stick (⺮).
