Char = Barbecue? - akrodha - 2006-11-06
I can't get a good image of something charred, so I'd like to think of a good ol' fashioned barbecue (and the clumsy guy behind the grill). Does this image interfere with some other primitive later on in the book?

It sounds good to me. I didn't have any trouble with a burned dead turkey, but I don't think this image will be confusing with later primatives.

I think of grill marks such as those found on a steak or a burger.

Then I think of these grill marks on the turkey's behind. The criss-cross marks even look a little like 焦.
I haven't finished RTKI yet, so I can't say whether or not a barbeque appears later on.

I think the kanji only appears once as a primitive in the character "reef" 礁, and only three times outside of RTK1 : 憔 蕉 樵 (according to KANJIDIC). Perhaps it's not worth creating a primitive image for it.
Out of my head I don't remember primitives similar to "barbecue" however you'd have to be careful to avoid remembering either food or flames/fire. For me "barbecue" is too similar to food so I would avoid it.
Coincidentally I posted about [kana]kogepan[/kana] on YouTube lately. The animation begins with this sentence :
焦げたから、こげぱん。 ([kana]kogeta kara, kogepan.[/kana])
[kana]kogepan[/kana] is a little bread (loanword [kana]PAN[/kana]) guy who got stuck in the oven a little too long (see episode 3 or 4 ^_^), and so he is a little burned, oops I mean charred. The kanji can also mean "impatient" and "irritate" which seems fitting.
PS: yup I had the same image as ziggr.
