りく · riku · JLPT N3 · noun
land
🏝️ 阝 hill + 坴 heaped earth clods = dry land rising above the water
Hear riku in two common words: 大陸 tairiku (big land = continent) and 着陸 chakuriku (reach land = a plane's landing). The left part 阝 marks hills and slopes, so it signals that the word is about ground.
