The radical 亻 represents a person, and the rest of the kanji implies a set place or position. Together, it reflects someone’s standing — whether social, academic, or positional. It’s a common kanji in discussions of rank, order, and honorific status.

彼かれは 会社かいしゃで 高たかい位くらいにいます。
He holds a high position in the company.

順位じゅんいは 次つぎの試合しあいに影響えいきょうします。
The ranking affects the next match.

各位かくいに お礼れいを申もうし上あげます。
Our sincere thanks to all concerned.

🎧 “イ” is the standard on-yomi used in compound words. The kun-yomi “くらい” often means rank or order, especially in everyday language or honorific use like “各位.”
