The radical character {{Linktext|又}}'s ancient form is a pictogram of a right hand from which the modern Chinese character {{Linktext|右}} (right) was derived. Though 又 (again) as a modern Chinese character no longer represents the meaning of "right", the implication of "hand" is preserved in some Chinese characters fall under radical 29.
