On the top or crown (kanmuri):
竹（たけ）meaning bamboo, gets shortened when it is used as a crown radical.
Here is another interesting example (no radical jokes - I promise):
管（くだ）means pipe/control. It gets its meaning through combining 官（かん）pierce, with bamboo. Thus, a pierced bamboo pipe through which sound is controlled.
Simple!
