jié 'seal'

Means seal as in 'seal ring'

 

fù 'left-ear' and yì 'right-ear'

Strokes: 2

Examples for fù 阹 阞 隘

Examples for yì 邒 邛 郜

The Radical fù (left-ear) goes on the left hand side of a character, whereas yì (right-ear)， goes on the right hand side of a character, otherwise, these two Radicals are identical.

fù means mound, yì means city.

笔画： 橫撇弯钩竖 héng piē wān gōu shù

 

 

kǎn 'bowl'

Strokes: 2 Examples 凶 凼 凸

笔画：　竖折竖 shù zhé shù

 

lì 'strength'

Strokes: 2 Examples 劝 劣 劸

笔画： 橫折钩 héng zhé gōu

I like the relationship between tián 田 (field) and 力 = nán 男 (man). I suppose traditionally, a field is where a man used his strength.
