交 (こう): kou-ming together

means "intersection" or "coming together" or some such.  Think of it as a map, perhaps, a dead end where two roads cross.  Either that or father 父 wearing a hat when he meets his friends.

Each of these symbols can be pronounced こう.  Nice.

, school:      A wood room where we come together to learn.
, effect:      The coming together of our abilities makes us effective.
, outskirts:  Intersections outside the city.
, compare:  We wait at the intersection comparing cars.
, strangle:   Strangle with the intersection of a tight thread.

I don't want 父 to feel lonely, so I'll put him and his other descendant here too.

, father:                   Someone holding two switches to keep you in line. 
                                     (Childrearing used to be rough.)
(かま), kettle:  Metal device for steaming poppa?
