Mnemonic
A boulder lying under a cliff — the square is a lump of rock, not a mouth. It heads its own section of the dictionary, where everything is either made of stone or ground with it: 硬 hard, 碗 a bowl, 破 to break. The everyday noun takes a suffix, 石头, and the second reading dàn belongs to old measures of grain.
