肝
gān · HSK 6
liver
🫀 肝 = 月 (flesh/organ radical) + 干 (gān, phonetic)
The 月 radical on the left marks body organs (also in 肺 lung, 胃 stomach). The right side 干 gives the sound gān. So 肝 is the flesh-organ pronounced gān — the liver.
肝 — flesh radical 月 (肉) + 干 gān phonetic
A semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 月 is the 'flesh/meat' radical (from 肉), used for body organs. The right side 干 supplies the sound 'gān'. Together they denote the liver, an internal organ.
