Hey guys, I just reached 1220, dart, 矢
I was wondering what this sentence means:
'Although this character could as well mean "arrow," it has no connection with the primitive of that meaning. Hence the new key word.'

It means there's another radical in RTK with the keyword "arrow." Check the index if you forgot.

Ah oke I totally forgot that. I never used that primitive. Thanks!
Only cupid shoots arrows in 天. I know, I'm dropping a dart ass remark here.

Think of a dart as something that is still alfoat, in the heavens, while an arrow (I don't have my Edict on me as I'm on my laptop right now, got some shit virus) is not.
I'm pretty sure you've passed the 'quiver' primitive section. The arrow on the other hand is something that is not in the air, rather has reached its target or hasn't even left its bow.
