1 The 140th radical in its commonest form (ts'ao-tzu-t'ou) is given two different stroke orders; the 38th radical (nü ) is written in two different ways — with four strokes in three instances and three strokes in four instances. While admittedly there is no standard for stroke order, I see no excuse for the latter, and would prefer consistency for the former, at least in an elementary text.
