Radical Combination

  • 甲 Turtle Shell

Meaning

Primary

Turtle Shell

Mnemonic

The turtle shell radical and the turtle shell kanji are exactly the same! Oddly, this can also be used to talk about the first item in a list, so to mean A out of A through D, for example.

Hints

Cowabunga! You get an A!

Readings

On’yomi

こう, かん

Kun’yomi

か

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

With a turtle shell on his back, imagine こういち.

Hints

Because this is WaniKani, こういち has probably set the turtle shell on fire, too. "Burn those turtle shells, burn those kanji!" he yells.
