（良）（銀）(食) - gyuujuice - 2009-11-13
When 良,食, or 銀 (without 金) apear on the left side of a kanji they change slightly.
即 vs 眼
Do you have any ideas how to split this up a little.
Soem ideas as for primitive meaning:
銀 Silverware, Pokemon Silver, silver surfer (I had to google to actually find thst one) wherewolf slayer ect.
良 angel, Pitt, Halo the game, 灰羽連盟
Any advice?

Well when I make a story for a kanji I typically try and make the story relating to where the primitives are located. For these particular set of kanji what I try and do is simply use what the kanji means. A lot of times the primitives don't work for me so I use the actual meaning of the kanji. Sometimes I use silverware like for 根。 'The tree's roots are like silverware'. But sometimes I just use the original kanji because it reinforces the kanji in itself. Like 娘。 'Your daughter is a good girl...' It reinforces good. So find out what works for you. Some people make a crazy amount of primitives and others simply just use the original word.

OK, thank you so mcuh for your advice!
I will probably do a mixture of both.
