Notes
Although 阝looks identical on the left or right side of a character, the meaning varies with the position. Here we look at it on the right side of a kanji, where it often means 'village,' as in 郷 (841: hometown, native place) and 郊 (1254: suburb; outskirts, rural areas). We also examine how 邑 turned into 阝in both 部 (384: section) and 邸 (1613: stately residence, mansion).
