Are both “netting” and “cable” really the same radical combination?
kanji/綱
kanji/網
This was confusing so I ended up not using “hill” in the “netting” kanji at all.

Hmm, not sure why they use hill for 網. The 亡 part contributes to the phonetic element of the kanji, lending it its もう reading, so it would probably help to make note of it in the mnemonics. Though that’s a place they could improve a lot of mnemonics generally.

I recently found out why this was such a massive leech for me. In the mnemonic they say that the hill of thread is a little weirdly shaped, which is because the hill of thread is a hill of nets rather than a hill of ropes.
I am now able to distinguish them after rereading the mnemonics for a few times, but I guess that it would have been much easier if they used the actual 亡 radical instead.
