The bar and the stem below are steady; what the three marks above them are is an old argument. One reading makes them sound: 說文 says “乎 is what is left over of speech; it follows 兮, and draws the shape of a voice carrying upward”, and takes the marks for breath going up. The other reading makes the lower part a pole or a wooden board set up in the ground, with something hung at its head to call people in — raise the signal and the men gather — which fits the way the bones use the word, where the king 乎 a named man to hunt, to attack, to fetch. Both readings work, and the shape alone does not settle it, so the badge here says disputed. What is not disputed is the use: on the bones this character writes 呼, to summon. The argument is only about what was first drawn.
