Hesitation (猶豫): The upper character is yizhou [fanqie]; the lower is yishu [fanqie]. The Shuowen says: "In Longxi, puppies are called you (猶). The nature of the you is full of suspicion; yu (豫) is always ahead of people. Therefore, all indecisiveness is called youyu, synonymous with fox-like doubt (huyi)." The Erya says: "The you is like a barking deer, good at climbing trees." Guo Pu says: "Vigorously climbs trees." Barking deer (ji 麂) has the fanqie juli.
