Why does [[https://www.hanzi-trainer.org/Mnemonic_phrase/Radical_%E6%9C%89.html|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: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/comments/s8tet5/why_is_the_moonmonth_radical_%E6%9C%88_used_as_for_kanji/|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
