Hesitating [猶豫] (fanqie: 戈又 [yòu] and 弋周 [yù]; in our note, the Shuowen says: "In Longxi, a dog pup is called 猶; by nature a 猶 is constantly wary ahead of humans, hence all who are irresolute are said to be 猶豫." Furthermore, the Erya says: "The 猶 is like a muntjac, good at climbing trees." Guo Pu says: "Robust at climbing trees." A certain scholar says: "It climbs trees like a bird").
