The "Nightbr
ak" keyword is from the Heisig's "Remembering
the Kanji" book. I think he used it as part of a phemonic
/ pictorial device, but I can't seem to remember why
anymore. The english keywords for the kanji were probably
harvested (automatically maybe) from a bunch of sources,
and this one is kind of confusing on its own without
Heisig's explanation. I would say change it or cut it.
