should *flower+water* be considered a primitive ??

#1
Working through RTK1 I always seem to have a bit of trouble with the *flower+water* characters. I think that they're better remembered if given their own primitive group. Here's four symbols that use the primitive;

落 fall; 299
薄 dilute; 227
藩 clan; 1912
藻 seaweed; 2035

I can't recall anymore from memory but note that in all four the *flower* primitive is atop the *water* primitive, so it would Not include symbols like; 漢 where *water* is larger than *flower* and *flower* is a part of another primitive.

any ideas on a primitive keyword?
