One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):

¹gǒu {B} n. dog M: tiáo 条b.f. damned; cursed ►gǒubèi 狗辈

The Shuōwén Seal form of 狗 gǒu ‘(guard) dog’ combines ​(​ quǎn) ‘dog’, and ​(​𠯶) gōu (phonosemantic).
    Compare: ​/​ jū ‘colt (two year-old pony)’.
    Note: The SW gloss cites Confucius explaining 狗 in terms of the bark of a dog, with a pun on ​/​ kòu ‘rein in (control/lead a horse/etc.); strike/attack; etc.’, as in ​ ‘to bark’ (of a guard dog, barking a warning), cf. ​ gōu (HDZ).
    Note: In the modern form 狗 the component is ​ (not ​).
    Compare: ​ fèi ‘bark (of a dog)’ (​ ‘bark madly’).
