About
The traditional character "驢" for donkey is a phono-semantic compound incorporating the semantic radical "馬" meaning horse and the phonetic component "盧" to indicate sound, thereby linking the animal to the equine family through its form. In the simplified form "驴", the semantic radical is represented by its abbreviated version "马" while the phonetic element is replaced by "户", yet the character's definition has remained specifically tied to the donkey throughout its historical usage.
