Radical 97 , meaning " melon , pumpkin ", is one of 23 of the 214 traditional radicals in Chinese script that are written with five strokes.
With 8 character combinations in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary, there are very few characters that can be found under this radical in the lexicon.
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).
As a bearer of meaning, 瓜 places signs in the context of melons and fruit:
- 瓞 (= small melon),
- 瓠 (= bottle gourd),
- 瓢 (= ladle from a pumpkin bowl) and
- 瓣 (= petal).
