In classical contexts, it also denotes a mythical thunder beast whose skin was said to be used for powerful drums, and it appears as a surname and in compound terms related to ancient ritual or governance. The character is structured with the "夊" radical indicating slow movement and the "巳" component, reflecting its complex etymology tied to both natural and supernatural domains.
