-<WL>祐 [yòu] (same as 佑 in 保佑 bless and protect)
+<WL>祐(=佑) [yòu] 保佑/祐 bless and protect; blessing
-From 礻(示 shì) ‘altar’ and 右 yòu ‘right’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 祐(􀀝) yòu ‘divine help/assistance/blessing’ combines 礻(示 shì) ‘heavens’, and 右(􀎥𠮢) yòu ‘strong right hand’ (phonetic).
-	Etymologically the same word as 右 and 佑 yòu ‘assist’. 祐 has 礻(示) added to indicate the specific meaning of assistence from heaven, blessing.
+	Note: 祐 ‘help/assist; protect’ was formerly written 右 (and also 佑), and so 右 is phonosemantic in 祐 (and 佑), not simply phonetic.
+	Variants: 𨒐, 𨳾, 𨴜, 𥛒.
 	“Aid, protect, especially heaven’s protection” —Karlgren.
+	HDZ: 祐 : yòu : 神助, 神灵保佑; 辅助, 帮助; 福; 治理; 佑: 进献; (姓)
