About
The character 呼 (hū) is a phono-semantic compound formed by the semantic radical 口 (kǒu, mouth) and the phonetic component 乎 (hū). The mouth radical situates it within actions of the oral cavity or vocal tract. Its core meaning is the exhalation of breath, the counterpart to inhalation. This extends to vocal actions requiring forceful expulsion of air, encompassing definitions like shouting, calling out to someone afar, or crying out in distress.
