Bronze has 85 ‘go, move’ and stylized depiction of leanlooking animal, taken as hare/rabbit, thus ‘hare/ rabbit escapes’ (Katō cautiously says ‘animal escapes’).

However, a seal-style equivalent for A) was created at a later date (sometimes done), very close to seal form for B) ‘rabbit’ (NJK). Historically, we find variation in the shape of the right-hand element of , in what seems to be a degree of confused usage between shapes A) and B).
