Tips

history

鄄 is not used as a general word; it is a place-name character, surviving today only in 鄄城 county in Shandong, originally a Spring-and-Autumn-era town of the state of Wei. It is the right-side city radical 阝 plus the phonetic 垔.

Components

radical

阝 yì

city; settlement (right-side)

阝 on the right is the city radical, the side form of 邑. It marks 鄄 as a place name, like other right-side-city characters 郑 and 邓.

phonetic

垔 yīn

to block up (phonetic)

垔 supplies the sound, drifted from yīn to juàn. The same phonetic appears in 甄 and 湮.

In Pop Culture
