封閉性

封 = 圭 + 寸 : Frankenstein's Monster (f) received a grant (封) in front of the engine ((e)ng1). The grant gives him the funds to continue his research about excavating jade tablets (圭) in the area. The grant itself has also been inscribed into a jade tablet (圭). At the same time he is also conferred the title of "master excavator". This saves Frankenstein's scientific career, so he happily thumbs up (寸).
