Meaning: Boat
If you have something with fins and a mouth, you can probably assume it’s a fish. If you add a sail to this fish, you have yourself a nice little boat.
Or a giant boat, perhaps? Imagine yourself riding a giant fish with a sail stuck in it. What an awesome boat you have. It can swallow up smaller ships whole for you, if you like.
Reading: せん
What do boats do? They send you across the ocean.
Also think about someone giving you some letters to send as well.
