狼
láng · HSK 7
wolf
🐺 狼 = 犭 (dog/beast radical) + 良 láng-ish sound; the beast that sounds like 'long' — a wolf
狼 — dog radical 犭 + 良 (liáng, phonetic)
狼 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 犭 (a form of 犬 'dog') signals that the character refers to a canine animal, while the right side 良 supplies the sound, originally close to 'láng'. Together they specify 'wolf', distinguishing it from other dog-like creatures.
