LEFT: THE FLESH SIDE 肉 (WRITTEN IN THE MOON-SHAPED 月 FORM) — THE BODY-PART SIDE NAMED IN THE OLD-FORM ACCOUNT
moon; month
月 can be the moon/month source or a flesh-related form in other characters; the distinction is stated where relevant.
In 脸: left: the flesh side 肉 (written in the moon-shaped 月 form) — the body-part side named in the old-form account In this family (脸, 腿) the bound flesh form marks body parts.
RIGHT: THE OLD SOUND SIDE NAMED IN THE 臉 ACCOUNT: 佥 (QIĀN)
all; unanimously (archaic 僉)
An archaic graph (qiān); when a character keeps it as a piece, the sound role is stated on that character's page.
In 脸: right: the old sound side named in the 臉 account: 佥 (qiān) A historical sound side, not a modern hint: liǎn shares only the final -ian with qiān; the initials (l-/q-) and tones (3/1) differ.
