Henshall versus kanjidic2


Henshall gives 貝 as かい but jisho.org and such give

貝 バイ  かい shellfish

which I think of as English "buy" with French "caille".

The Kanji Learner's course also has only the hiragana, which makes sense, because the common words and expressions are built with かい.

However バイ is what you find in the name of 貝 as radical 154.

京 at Henshall 99 is missing because KANJIDIC2 also has the older みやこas a kun-yomi reading in addition to キョウ、ケイ.

read : "less common" for "older", .i.e., not on study lists
