换言之

换 = 奂 + 扌 : Helga Horse (hu) received two new toy claws (扌) and tests them in the anthill's bathroom (an4). To test whether they are the same, she repeatedly exchanges (换) them and weighs them in her hands. She then makes both tips of the claws touch and quietly whispers "excellent" (奂).

言 = 亠 + 二 + 口 : The horizontal lines look like sound waves that emerge from an opening: I'll resemble 言 by a megaphone.

言 = 亠 + 二 + 口 : Maud Younger rushes into anthill and in the kitchen she uses a megaphone to loudly announce that the world revolution will soon start. She also tells the people that she has berets for everyone so that everyone will be able to be in style for the revolution. However she doesn't tell that she prepared the berets in another way: to each beret, she attached a mandarin via two capacitors which forms a formidable antenna, so that after the revolution, she'll be able to transmit her speeches directly to the wearers' brains.

之 = 丶 + Z : Mnemonic symbol: Sooo sleepy... "zZz" (the character looks like a "Z"). James II of England (zh) fell asleep in front of the space station (Ø1). He sleeps on a big petal leaf (丶), making loud "zZz" (之) sounds.
