ひらく
to open
The same gate as あく, except that this time it is your hands on the bar. Peel ひら it open at page thirty-two, thumb into the middle, and the whole book comes apart flat: ひらく.
Written exactly like 開く あく. Only what's around it tells you which. ひらく is spreading something open: a book, an umbrella, an event.
