| The puppet lives close to the city walls and sits on top of them at night to see a great view of the lights of the metropolis. | dōu (都) – “all” or “both”; dū (都) – “city” or “capital”. The meaning depends on context and pronunciation. The 阝 radical suggests a connection to places or geography, which fits with the “city” meaning. The 者 component contributes the sound, especially in the “dū” reading. | ||||||
