又 [yòu] again; both ... and ...; (radical 29, 又部); (姓); (古) 右: 右手; 宥; 祐: 福 [yǒu] 有
One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):
►¹yòu 又 {A} adv. again; moreover ‖ ∼ guòle yī̠ tiān ∼过了一天 another day passed ‖ ∼ shì tā. ∼是他。 It's him again. (disapprovingly) ◆conj. ①and; in addition ‖ sān ∼ wǔ fēnzhī sì 三∼五分之四 three and four-fifths ②but; on the other hand ‖ Wǒ xiạ̌ng mǎi, ∼ pà tài guì. 我想买, ∼怕太贵。 I thought of buying it, but was afraid that it was too expensive. ◆cons. ∼ A ∼ B both A and B ‖ ∼ piányi ∼ hǎo ∼便宜∼好 cheap as well as good
The character 又 yòu ‘(strong) right hand’ in the Seal is an abbreviation of the pictograph 手 shǒu ‘hand’, with 3 fingers instead of 5, and with the forearm at the right (drawn from the perspective of looking at one's one right hand); it is 𠂇(左) ‘left (hand/side)’ reversed.
Note: Today the old meaning of 又 yòu ‘right (hand/side)’ is written 右(𠮢) yòu, and 又 is used mainly for ‘again; and’ (又 no longer means ‘right hand’, except as a component); the old meaning of 右(𠮢) yòu ‘help’ is now written 佑.
Compare: 友(㕛) yǒu ‘friends’; 有(𪠥) yǒu ‘have’; 求 qiú ‘seek’; 廾(𠬞) gǒng ‘upraised/respectful hands’.
Compare: 屮 chè ‘sprout’, 艸 cǎo ‘grass/herb’.
