I'm a student of sinology
our professor told us to explore 214 radicaks...
But I have a problem with 月 because I don't know why in some cases 肉 is written like 月?
The only thing I know that it doesn't have any etymological ground.
Could anybody answer me?
Thank You for your help!

I‘m a native Chinese.
in fact ,sometimes 月 has some meaning of 肉 ,when it is as a part a word ,such as 膑、脍etc. but the time 月 means MOON ,they have no etymological ground.
