Radical 52

The radical 52 with the meaning " young, small" is one of 31 traditional radicals of Chinese writing, which consist of three strokes.

With 7 characters compounds in Mathews ' Chinese - English Dictionary it is only very rarely in the lexicon. The sign is similar to the Zhuyinzeichen ㄠ [ ɑo̯ ].

幽( = hidden) consists of twice幺( = small) and山( = mountain ). In the bronze font幺also meant black. This sense has been preserved in玄( = black) (radical 95).

In吆( = shout )幺takes the place of a sound carrier. In幻( = deceptive )幺has no meaning at all.

There is also the slightly different notation乡to幺.
