why the kanji for crow has one less line than bird

[@FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog]

Neat, I'll never forget these kanji now

[@HasekuraIsuna]

There is only one big sky in the whole word: 一 _one_ + 大 _big_ = 天 _heaven/sky_ If you run you'll have to stop to rest a lot, but if you're walking you won't be so tired: 止 _stop_ + 少 _few_ = 歩 _walk_

[@hyoukaa123]

@@HasekuraIsuna Well..actually 天 & 步 is not made like this there are four different types of characters • Pictograms • Simple ideograms • Ideogrammic compounds • phono-semantic compounds 天 is actually a pictogrammic character The original 天 was drawn like a person, but his head became 一 after thousand years And 步 is actually Ideogrammic compound The original 步 was the 止 plus the upside down 止 止 means foot so two feet represent left foot and right foot, meaning "walk"

[@HasekuraIsuna]

@@hyoukaa123 Thanks for the info! I wasn't suggesting that those were the actual origins, just that those are how I remember them!

Awesome. As a Chinese, I didn't know why "烏" looks the way it is. This character is now mostly used for "black". Crow now requires a compound word 烏鴉.

[@charlesrodneymorrisonday4631]

Nice. Kanjis are fascinating.

[@HasekuraIsuna]

Indeed. There also some funny ones like 艹 _grass_ + 楽 _fun_ = 薬 _medicin/drug_ or 車 _car_ + 樂 _fun_ = 轢 _run someone over_ .

[@kentmars3099]

“乌”最初专门指乌鸦这种鸟，我们知道乌鸦的特点是通体黑色，眼睛也是黑色的，因此不容易看到乌鸦的眼睛。于是，在造“乌”字时就少了这一点儿，这一点儿就是“眼睛”，当然，不是说乌鸦没有眼睛，而是乌鸦有眼睛却不容易被看见。 这个“乌”少一点儿，可谓理由十分充分。这个造字特别能体现出先民在造字时细致观察的特点，能够发现点滴细微的差异，并把这种差异通过造字表现出来。

How about 鴉 ? Anyone can explain

[@HasekuraIsuna]

For many old words multiple kanji exist, but most have disappeared over time. Sometimes unusual variants survive and are found in names or literary works. 鴉 is made up of 牙 _fang_ and 鳥 _bird._ The 鳥 signifies that the kanji has something to do with birds. One of the pronunciations of 牙 is _ga_ and it is thought that the sound of a crow is _gaa gaa._ TL;DR: 鴉 means "the bird that sounds like _ga"_ which is the same crow as 烏.
