吼聲（呼狗反俗字也正從牛作𤘽古文作呴考聲云吼鳴之聲大者牛虎等噑也狗曰吠馬曰嘶鳥曰鳴獸曰噑各從其類廣雅大鳴也案吼叫呼也古今正字作吽熊羆叫聲也從口並形聲字也）。

吼聲 [Roaring sound]: Read with the fanqie 呼 [h-] + 狗 [-ǒu] (hǒu); a colloquial character. The standard character is written with the ox radical as 𤘽; the ancient form is 呴. The Kaosheng says: '吼 refers to a loud roaring sound, such as the roaring of oxen, tigers, and the like. For dogs it is called barking (吠); for horses, neighing (嘶); for birds, chirping (鳴); for beasts, howling (噑); each follows its kind.' The Guangya says: 'A great crying.' Examining this: 吼 means to shout and cry out. The Gujin zhengzi writes 吽, the cry of bears; formed from 口 (mouth), both being phono-semantic characters.
