Note
On-reading (ヒ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (かば(う)) is used standalone or with okurigana. Has multiple meanings (shelter; protect; eaves). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
