Today’s #kanji is #風, which makes its own radical. 風’s semantic element is 虫 (an insect) and its phonetic element is 凡 although in the modern Japanese, 風 and 凡 do not have a sound in common. Can you read 風 then and do you know what it means?
Meaning: a wind, a style
Reading: フウ（プウ）、フ（ブ）、かぜ、かざ（フウウ）: wind and rain; a (rain) storm
風土（フウド）: the natural features (of a region), climate
台風（タイフウ）: a typhoon
風呂（フロ）: a (hot) bath
中風（チュウブ/チュウブウ／チュウフウ）: palsy; paralysis
風（かぜ）: a wind, a current of air
そよ風（かぜ）: a breeze
風上（かざかみ）: windward, the weather side, the wind’s eye
風下（かざしも）: leewad, the leeward side, the lee (side)
