Notes
Historically, this was used instead of 匹 (counter for animals) as a counter for smaller animals, but this is no longer the case in modern Japanese.
Learn about the radical on duty in 疑 (doubt) and, unrecognizably, in 疎 (estranged). Also find out what an animal counter is—and why 疋 is no longer useful in that regard!
