夂 is a common component, traditionally considered to mean ‘walk slowly’. It has been called a picture of a ⺈ person with  something tied to the legs, or a cane; this may have simply been a misinterpretation of the shape which, at least in most cases, was originally just 止 upside-down.

夂 is a common component, associated with 夊(􀺧) suī ‘walk slowly’ (dragging the feet, in straw sandals, or dancing shoes), and also with 夂(􀻗) zhǐ a picture of a 𠂊(􁕎人⺈) ‘person’ with ㇏(􂍄􀠡􁾒) ‘something holding him back (seeing him off)’; but in very old graphs the shape was sometimes just 止(􀑥) ‘foot’ upside-down.
In dictionaries organized by the traditional 214 Kangxi radicals, the 35th radical 夊 suī is distinguished from the 34th radical 夂 zhǐ, although they are generally both written 夂. When 夂 occurs at the top of a character, it’s radical 34 (夂 zhǐ); at the bottom, it’s radical 35 (夊 suī).

The characters 夊(􀺧) suī and 夂(􀻗) zhǐ are distinct in Shuōwén (and are distinct radicals). In later dictionaries organized by the traditional 214 Kangxi (KX) radicals they are also distinct radicals. The 35th radical 夊(􀺧) suī is distinguished from the 34th radical 夂(􀻗) zhǐ, although they are generally both written 夂 today, especially when used as a component. In general, when 夂 occurs at the top of a character, it is assigned to radical 34 (夂 zhǐ); but at the bottom, it is assigned to radical 35 (夊 suī). Compare 攵(􀢌攴) pū ‘beat’ (KX radical 66) which has four strokes (and typically occurs on the right), but may be abbreviated to only three strokes when used as a character component.
