喚 - Yell
Yell - A tightly wrapped parcel (bound) sits on the sill behind a frosted window pane; two tiny legs kick it open, the little square Mouth, Entrance flips up, and a towering figure (Large) springs out shouting a single sharp “カン!” like a horagai (a ritual conch trumpet used in mountain rites to call spirits).
Picture Obon lanterns drifting on a river and a sudden taiko beat - that flash of light, the stomp of legs, the pop of the #Mouth, and the conch’s “kan!” = 喚: bound + window + legs + mouth + large, all calling everyone back.
