About the kuruma kanji and kotoba no ha 

The kuruma kanji is read in 2 ways

1. kuruma
2. sha

so jitensha is a kuruma that jiten(s) or spins or cycles

jiten suru - you look it up in your new sanseido wa-ei that you bought from Makurasuki Sensei's link.

kotoba no ha - The word for word or, kotoba, is made with two kanj. The koto or harp kanji and the ha or happa kanji or leaf kanji. The word kotoba means speech or language but its best to think of it as meaning the word 'word'. Just as will be explained in a textbook on International Phonetics and it's alphabet. Ha of kotoha becomes ba thus making it kotoba so the rule even acceptable by the IPA is ha becomes ba except after c and since there is no mora c then there is no exception.

Making It in Japan

Some people can't make it in Japan. They think that if they just eat Ramen all day they won't ever have to try the fishy stuff. They can't sit on their knees for more than 1 minute, or their feet stink thus they can't take off their shoes without embarrasment. Relax, Japanese people are some of the best folk around the whole entire world and they have an old culture.

New YouTube vids How to write the kanji for kuruma 

I think this guy is left handed but its good for demonstrations. Make sure to be precise in regards to spatial aspects of drawing or wrting or calligrahy"ing the Kanji. Kuruma looks like a car. It has two wheels and a buggy. Its easy to tell that this kanji is waht it represents. The ideal ideograph.
