tail, end, counter for fish, lower slope of mountain
尾 centers on the rear or trailing part of something: an animal's tail, the end of a process, or the lower slope of a mountain. The counter-for-fish sense is a natural extension of counting by tails.
尾 combines 尸 (a body or person) with 毛 (hair), suggesting the hairy tail of an animal attached to the body.
A body (尸) with a hairy tuft (毛) at the back: that's a tail. Picture a dog's tail wagging behind its body.
For ビ, imagine a bee buzzing around the tail of a cow: bee -> ビ, and the cow swishes its tail to shoo it away.
