  1. what’s the story with 降りる having the building radical in it? I assume something to do with classical chinese but usually the radical at least vaguely matches the meaning.

    did this kanji just drift a lot after coming to japanese?

  2. にわかには受け入れがたいが・・・・・・不思議と腑に落ちた

    How common is 腑に落ちる? Because I find this expression interesting and thinking about using it.
