RADICAL_NAMESconstant
THE JAPANESE SCHOOL NAMES OF THE RADICALS, from Kanji alive. Written by scripts/build-names.ts (pnpm data:names), never edited by hand.
Kanji alive, by Harumi Hibino Lory and Arno Bosse (University of Chicago), is used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/); its radicals table is read from one commit of https://github.com/kanjialive/kanji-data-media. These names are derived from it and are under the same licence (see NOTICE.md).
227 of RADKFILE's 253 radicals have a name; the other 26 are components no school lists as a radical, and are left out rather than guessed. Keyed by the RADKFILE key, as everything about a radical is, so a stand-in is looked up as written: 汁 answers さんずい.
