corner, nook, recess
隈 centers on a tucked-away space: a corner, nook, or recess where something can be hidden or sheltered.
隈 combines the hill radical ⻖ with 畏, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of something bent or hidden, suggesting a recess in the landscape.
The hill radical ⻖ suggests a slope or mound, and 畏 looks like something bent or tucked away. Picture a hidden nook in the hillside where the land curves inward to form a quiet corner.
For ワイ, imagine a winding path leading to a hidden corner where you ask 'Why?' — the sound 'why' cues ワイ, and the secluded nook makes you wonder why it's there.
