	hand	A hand with the forearm at the right and fingers stretched out to the left.
彐	hand	Traditionally, the radical 58 has the meaning: pig's head, or pig's snout. The trainer always uses it as “hand”, i.e. as a variant of , which shows a hand with the fingers pointing to the left. This often appears to be etymologically justified.
