Japanese Notes

Why does the kanji for "exist / to have", 有, look like a hand over a moon? It's not the moon. It's the nikuzuki, the meat-moon: It is not actually 月, it is 肉 in it's radical form (⺼).

Was trying to figure out these with “name” (moon over mouth):

  • 名前 = name
  • 有名 = famous

LLM Conversations

I am a beginner student of the Japanese language. Act as my helpful teacher. What are some good mnemonics for remembering the kanji 名?
Thank you! Please provide mnemonics that'll help me remember and distinguish 濯 from 曜.
