ふね · fune · JLPT N4 · noun

⛵ fune sounds like funnel: a ship's smokestack is called a funnel
A ship's chimney is a funnel, and fune is the first syllable-and-a-half of that word. The kanji 舟 began as a drawing of a small hollowed-out boat, and it is used for small craft, while 船 covers larger ships.
