Radicals

肉	body part	This radical is on the left in compound words and is simplified as "月", which then looks like “moon, month 月”, but still has the meaning “body part”.
退	retreat
辶	movement	In some cases this radical 廴 is used, but the mnemonics are the same.
艮	not good	This 良 is the character for "good", but since the accent is missing it is understood as "not good".
