Tip: goods + wood/tree : This combination of primitives appears four times in Heisig, so it's worthwhile giving it a name. I suggest "furniture" (a common type of wooden goods). ref: parch (frame 215) , 操 (#724), 繰 (#1469), 藻 (#2191). Story: It's been so parched recently that your furniture suddenly catches fire.
