You’re on a Heist and Your Birth Month is Your Getaway Driver. Are you Escaping?
Meet 弄, the kanji for that thing where you’re holding something in your hands and keep passing it back and forth and weaving it between your fingers and so on (I always liked that the verb もてあそぶ is basically a combination of もつ “hold” and あそぶ “play”. Handy!)
It’s also that thing where you toy with someone (or their feelings) as if they were that thing you’re holding in your hands. That too. Two meanings.
I believe いじる leans toward the “fiddle with a thing” type meaning (with a little hint of “tease someone” sometimes) and もてあそぶ does both the “play with an object” meaning and the “toy with a person” meaning.
According to my kanji dictionary, 弄 was originally a jewel 玉 with a picture of two arms together 廾 beneath it (the hands are holding the jewel and playing with it). But the 玉 lost its dot somewhere along the line so now it just looks like a king 王.
…Personally I kinda like that it’s a king and some hands now.
