骃 refers to a horse with a mixed coat, typically dappled or piebald in grey and white. As a phono-semantic compound, it uses the horse radical 马 on the left to indicate its equine meaning, with 因 on the right providing the pronunciation. The traditional form 駰 follows the same structure but uses the unsimplified radical 馬. In classical texts, this character served to precisely categorize horses by appearance, reflecting the specialized equestrian vocabulary of historical records rather than common usage.
