[QUOTE="seebs, post: 306583, member: 2070"] I'll admit that the character you showed them looks like an eight. That character is only part of the way some people draw chuan; it is not necessarily the most correct one. Furthermore, that character is not one of the radicals in chuan; the whole right-hand side of the word is a separate radical, consisting of two things stacked on top of each other. If you read the entry on Zhongwen, you'll see the different ways of drawing that phonetic component, which has its own meaning. (Note also that 'ba' can mean divide or separate, as well as 8, depending on context.) [/QUOTE]
