vein, pulse, hope
脈 centers on a connected, flowing channel: a vein carrying blood, a pulse felt through that flow, or a thread of hope that runs through a situation.
脈 combines ⺼ (flesh/body part) with a right side that historically represents a branching network, together suggesting the body's branching veins.
The left side ⺼ is flesh, and the right side looks like a branching river system. Picture a network of veins branching through the body, carrying the pulse of life and a thread of hope.
For ミャク, imagine a doctor checking your pulse and saying 'My, a cute little pulse!' — 'My, a cute' blends into ミャク while focusing on the vein and pulse meaning.
