Radicals

女 womanThe character for tall 大 shows a person 人 with outstretched arms 一. If you shift the lower strokes towards each other, you can get the: woman 女. The wider lower area can be understood as female hips?
疋 bolt of clothDon't mistake with correct: 正
正 correctRadical 103 疋 stands for clothing or bales of cloth. In the Hanzi-Trainer, it is used synonymously with the correct 正, because it seems helpful for the explanations and the interpretation clothing/cloth bale would be in conflict with other radicals.
肉 body partThis radical is on the left in compound words and is simplified as "月", which then looks like “moon, month 月”, but still has the meaning “body part”.
