Thread: Primitive positioning rules Post: Primitive positioning rules Hmm, good points. It seems that the rules are most applicable to cases of ambiguity. What I mean is when you have a simple left/right or top/bottom kanji and aren't sure which goes on the left and whi... |

Thread: Primitive positioning rules Post: Primitive positioning rules Whoops, missed that one... I still think it's easier to learn the positioning of "full" as an exception. Normally the flowers oversee the water, but this kanji is "full" with water, which overpowers t... |

Thread: What's your least favorite kanji to write? Post: What's your least favorite kanji to write? Anything with the "sow" primitive, such as in 豚 ("pork"). When I first learned them, I really couldn't get used to 心 and 必 ("heart" and "invariably"), but I'm getting better at those. And finally, som... |

Thread: VARIABLE MEANINGS DON'T MATTER? Post: VARIABLE MEANINGS DON'T MATTER? Whoops, I forgot "monkey", which has "lidded crock with scarf" and nothing underneath. So scratch that :) Pangolin's explanation is good, but for me, since you draw the line underneath the scarf after... |

Thread: VARIABLE MEANINGS DON'T MATTER? Post: VARIABLE MEANINGS DON'T MATTER? OK, I see what you mean. I checked and the kanji that have the other form of scarf in RTK I are "distant" - 遠, "park" - 園, "ring" - 環, and "send back" - 還. To me it looks more like the last four stro... |

Thread: PRIMITIVE ELEMENTS Post: PRIMITIVE ELEMENTS If you notice, some of the primitive elements are not typed in a full square. For example, the primitive for "kazoo" (page 189 in RTK 4th ed) looks like it was just cut from "discriminating" 識. And it... |
