How to remember

'ケイ' - Imagine a person trying to keep their balance in a **KAY**-ak, causing it to *lean* or *tilt*.
The left side is the 'person' radical (人), and the right side (頃) looks like something is about to fall over or is already leaning, making the whole character represent a person *leaning* or *tilting*.
