Turning the falcon banner (迴旟: the lower character has the fanqie yu-xu [yú]. The Yunying says: 'A falcon banner; a falcon or hawk is painted upon it to represent swiftness.' Guo's commentary to the Erya says: 'Skinning a bird and placing it atop a pole, signifying its courage.' The Yunquan says: '旟 means traveling swiftly like a hawk or falcon.' The Shuowen says: 'It is derived from the banner radical [𭤨] and phonetic yu [與].').
