Radicals

尸 buttocks in side viewThis radical has actually the meaning: corpse 尸. But due to its use in tail 尾, urine 尿, or flatulence 屁, it is considered to generally mean 'buttocks'.
娄 to collectThis radical is used with the meaning "to collect", because helpful mnemonics become possible, as for example with " to collect 搂", which is ethymological not correct.
