暑

heat / hot weather / summer heat

暑 = 日 + 者 : Sheldon Shrimp (shu) and Louis XIV (者) escaped the summer heat (暑) into the space station (Ø3) to spend their summer vacation (暑). Unfortunately the sun (日) had the same idea, and now Louis and Sheldon have to endure the heatstrokes (暑) anyway.

Add a new mnemonic for 者 = ⺹ + 日

者 = ⺹ + 日 : Mnemonic symbol: the sun (日) is wearing a crown (⺹). This reminds me of Louis XIV, le Roi Soleil, the Sun King, which will thus be the mnemonic symbol for 者. The crown (⺹) wearing sun (日), the Sun King (者) and James II of England (zh) are taking part in a writing contest in the elevator's living room (e3) to see who of them is the best author (作者).
