### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 峱 | *nuː |
| 紐 | *nuʔ |
| 扭 | *nuʔ, *tnuʔ |
| 狃 | *nuʔ, *nus |
| 鈕 | *nuʔ |
| 忸 | *nuʔ, *nuɡ |
| 杻 | *nuʔ, *n̥ʰuʔ |
| 莥 | *nuʔ |
| 羞 | *snu |
| 丑 | *n̥ʰuʔ |
| 沑 | *njuʔ, *nuɡ |
| 粈 | *njuʔ |
| 衄 | *nuɡ, *njuɡ |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *nuʔ, *nus): semantic 犬 (“dog”) + phonetic 丑 (OC *n̥ʰuʔ) – animal tracks. However, the phonetic component indicates an animal claw, hence it adds part of the meaning.
