並ぶ
ならぶ · narabu · JLPT N5 · verb-godan
to stand in a line
🧍 並 = two 立 (stand) fused side by side: standing next to each other
並 began as 竝, two copies of 立 (to stand) written side by side, so the character itself is people standing in a row. Sound hook: narabu ~ in a row, boo — everyone groans at the queue. Intransitive: people line up by themselves (並べる is the transitive pair).
