 <WL>钩(F鉤) [gōu] (钩子 gōuzi) hook@@ [gòu] [qú] cf. 鉤
-From 钅(金 jīn) ‘metal’ and 勾 gōu ‘hook’ or 句 jù (‘sentence’).
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 钩/鉤(􀘐鈎) gōu ‘hook’ combines 钅/金 (jīn) ‘metal’, and 勾/句(􀘍𠯶) gōu (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 句, cf. 句.
-	Originally 句 was the character for ‘hook’, 勹 depicting a hook and 口 kǒu being phonetic. 句 sometimes became 勾 (the variation between 口 and 厶 is common). As 句 and 勾 took on extended meanings, 金 ‘metal’ was added for the literal meaning ‘hook’.
+	The modern simple form 钩 derives not from 鉤 with 句, but from the variant form 鈎 with 勾.
-	The full form is 鉤, the simple form is 钩, and a variant form is 鈎.
