朋 is the alternative character of 友, both read とも. Again hardly ever used. It is derived from
朋友(ほうゆう)meaning friend, but it is almost never used in modern Japanese.

My biggest gripe with Remember the Kanji is the way Heisig describe the characters, is complete non-sense. I think 漢字源 is a MUCH MUCH better resource.
