(246a) + big 大 (47) = head 头
This means both literally a “head” and also more figuratively “chief ” or “foremost”.
Note that the last stroke is a drop; this character is not really “ice crystals” plus “big”, but we’ve used this breakdown since this is what the character looks like at first glance.
[点头 (185) diǎntóu to nod one’s head]
In the cavern, the ice crystals were so big that he hit his head on one. / The fairy conjured up a lamp for him to see by, just as he was about to stub his toe on another one.
