I assume you mean yopparai. (U+9154)

Well, no, that is, again, the wine radical (U+9149), with 4
residual strokes.

The 4 residual strokes constitute a component that itself is a
character, U+5346. And the radical for *that* is 'ten', U+5341,
not 'nine'.

U+65EE. Part of one of the odd combinations that are used
in Chinese to spell out dimorphemes that aren't part of the
core Sinitic vocabulary. Actually it is 'sun' *under* 'nine',
and the other pair is U+65EF, 'sun' *over* 'nine'. Together,
ga1la2-zi or ga1la2-r, "dark corner". Or ga1gala2lar2 "(in)
every nook and cranny".
