有 yǒu is composed of ​𠂇 yòu phonetic and ​月 (yuè) ‘moon’.
    ​𠂇 was originally ​, a picture of a right hand; see the modern characters ​又 yòu and ​右 yòu. The character ​ by itself was originally used for yǒu ‘to have’ (to hold in the hand). Later ​月 was added; some scholars believe it was ​肉 (ròu) ‘meat’ rather than ​月 (yuè) ‘moon’.
    To have ​肉 meat in your ​又 hand; or, to have the ​月 moon in your ​又 hand: the ultimate possession.
    Compare ​右 yòu ‘right’, ​左 zuǒ ‘left’ and ​友 yǒu ‘friend’.
The reading 有 “yòu” occurs in numeric expressions such as “​六​十有​四​卦” ‘Sixty-four hexagrams’; the reading 有 “wěi” is rare, only for the ‘ancient river name’ also written “​洧” (see ).
