The radical only occupies the 197th position in the long - character list of traditional radicals , which consists of 214 radicals. It can be found in a completely different place in modern abbreviation dictionaries. In the New Chinese-German Dictionary from the People's Republic of China, for example, it is in 151st place.
As a single character, radical 97 is very similar to radical 87 and single character 爪 (= claw). The seal script - shape shows a melon-like plant.
Only a few characters are assigned to the radical 瓜. It functions as a sound carrier, for example, in:
- 呱 (= clack) and
- 孤 (= orphan).

- 瓞 (= small melon),
- 瓠 (= bottle gourd),
- 瓢 (= ladle from a pumpkin bowl) and
- 瓣 (= petal).
