Etymology
About
A phono-semantic compound, 鱵 uses the fish radical 魚 (yú) on the left to indicate its meaning, classifying it as an aquatic creature. The right side, 箇 (zhēn), provides the pronunciation. The character refers exclusively to halfbeaks, a family of fish with elongated lower jaws, and is used only in scientific contexts like ichthyology and biological taxonomy, with no figurative meanings.
