扌義a hand
{t,d}↔{zh,ch,sh}ITshì → tí — the {zh,ch,sh}↔{d,t} crossing; the same 是 stays tí in 題、堤
A hand (扌) closing on a handle and lifting — to carry hanging from the grip. 是 shì gives the sound across the {zh,ch,sh}↔{d,t} crossing, the same one 題 takes. What the hand lifts, speech lifts too: 提出、提問、提到 — raised into view.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
一手（扌）兩袋菜，提起來，袋口晃一晃，穩了。
One hand (扌), two bags of groceries — a lift, the handles swing once, then steady.
