鬲かなえ

noun

kanji 'tripod' radical (radical 193)

Refers to the kanji component 鬲, historically a tripod vessel, used as a radical in characters like 鬳 and 鬴. This is a metalinguistic term for the radical itself, not a word for a physical tripod.

• 部ぶ首しゅの「鬲かなえ」は「かなえ」と呼よばれる。

  The radical 鬲 is called 'kanae'.
