hane, ha, u, wa
According to the latest issue of the National Geographic Magazine*, scientists elucidated the color of a dinosaur. We also saw a full-color picture of the dinosaur, Anchiornis huxleyi, in Japanese newspapers. The feathered dinosaur was translated as umō kyōryū. Umō means plumage. The “u” of umō is today’s character and mō means hair. Kyōryū means a dinosaur.
While we can read this character hane, meaning feather, there is another “hane,” which consisting of two characters. Of the latter “hane,” the “ha” is today’s character and the “ne” is another character, meaning root.
The flapping of wings and buzzing can be expressed as haoto.
Draw the left part of the character, first. 
Draw the hook with an upward turn, the dot from the upper left, and the sweeping stroke from the lower left. Repeat this for the other part.
