About

The word "骆驼" (camel) is formed by combining two pictophonetic characters, each constructed with the horse radical (马) on the left to denote an animal-like nature, and a right-side component that historically hints at pronunciation, "各" for "骆" and "它" for "驼". This fusion creates a compound where both characters contribute semantically through the shared radical and phonetically through their respective components, illustrating a common Chinese character formation method that blends meaning and sound cues to represent a single concept.
