person 亻 (13a) + suddenly 乍 (207a) = do 作

A general-purpose character meaning to do or make (see also Character 210 below).

We’ve gathered together here the 6 characters with pronunciation “zuo”. two pairs of these characters form mini phonetic series. You might like to have a go at constructing the pronunciation parts of stories for these six. You will need a ghostly archetype each time. If it is any help, the name “Zodiac” has been given to a make of car, and an inflatable boat. If you find this hard work, relax — normal service is resumed after the next six characters (and spare a thought for us as we tried to come up with well over 800 of these stories so that each of them would be memorable!)
