English meaning : hook, be curved

Russian meaning[s]: 1) крюк; кривой; 2) поймать на крючок; завлечь; соблазнять; 3) вступить в связь; 4) делать пометки в рукописи; зачеркивать; знак вставки; вставка; 5) Гоу (фамилия)

Comments: The graph is rather late - before Song both 勾 and 句 were not distinguished. In the verbal meaning ('be curved') the character is sometimes glossed as MC kʌ̀w, OC *kō-s - although the actual Shijing rhyme (246, 6) does not support it. Viet. also has kều, khều to pull with a stick; quèo, kèo hook - all most probably < Chinese, as well as Khmer ka:w 'to pull smth. with a hook or stick'.
