Notes
Visually similar to ノ, the character we use as the 'whereupon' component (which is also katakana no) in mnemonics etc. This character, 丿, is often used in radical lists.
Learn to locate the 丿 radical in 乗 (load; power) and 乏 (poor), and see how the etymology of 及 (amount to) sounds like an ancient game of Twister.
