| Comment | I don't believe the word "carapaces" is a good choice for describing where the ancient 甲骨文 were written in a dictionary. Carapace is far too broad. In this part of the world we usually talk about the carapace of lobsters (how big it is). As far as I have read, the only carapace these kanji were written on were the shells of tortoises. |
