Well, somewhere between 1200lb and less I would have said ... leaving the
dragon aside, the horse radical would be the 'heaviest' of the bunch - of
course, if someone comes up with an avergae weight for a chinese dragon,
I'll gladly wave that statement ; ).
Of course you could also argue that radicals like bamboo or wood designate
the total mass of wood or bamboo on the planet, in which case they'd win the
