Radicals
|
口
|
mouth, opening | This is a small square. If it is bigger: 囗, it is an enclosure. |
|
sun rise | The sun 日 rises between plants 艹. The very similar radical 莫 stands for sunset. This seems bizarre, can be argued based on the characters for morning 朝 in comparison to evening 暮. |
|
朝
|
the morning | sunrise with the sun |
