Konnichiwa lexico-san! Glenn-san!

Yes, 献(simplified) < 獻(traditional). And left part of 獻 is made of 「虎 : tiger」 and 「鬲 : tripod kettle」. It is the tripod kettle with tiger ornament and means splendid dish.

And left part of 献 is 南, but it is simplified word of 「虎 : tiger」 and 「鬲 : tripod kettle」 from 獻. In this case, 「南」 has not any meaning because it is substitute.
Originally 「南 : minami」 means south. My name 「南木」 means south tree. :roflmao:

Konnichiwa, Nangi-san, Glenn-san!
Thank you for the information!
I'd hate to play twice in a row, but since I've caused all this confusion, I'm responsible for bringing it back.

美しい うつくしい/Utsukushii "beautiful"

This Kanji 「美しい」 is made by 「羊:ひつじ」 and 「大:おおきい」. 「羊:hitsuji」 means a sheep, and 「大: Ookii」 means a big. Why "big sheep" means "beautiful"? Because God like a beautiful sacrifice.

鰯 「いわし」 -sardine
left paｒｔ 「魚」 is a fish, right part 「弱」 is a weak. Is sardine a weak fish?
Oh, sardine is not a strong fish certainly.

強 「キョウ、ゴウ、つよ・まる、つよ・める、しい・ る、こわ・い、Ｔ１、すね」 - strong

Man that one has a lot of readings! By the way, can we lose at this game? I mean, even if we break a rule, do we get to keep playing? I'm guessing that repeating kanji is against the rules, and I'm not so sure anyone's been paying attention to that.

With apologies to lexico, I'll depart from the fish kanji. I'm sure we can work our way back to them, though.

Fine with me, Glenn. Artifacts are good, too, and so are natural objects.
