Radical 尤

This is a deformation of the previous character.

尤其 (235) yóuqí especially

/ The fairy found the wheel useful, especially in her yoga class.

big 大 (47) + a drop 丶 (22a) = dog 犬

Compare this character with “too much” (Character 48), which was also formed out of “drop” and “big”. It’s the same fisherman, but notice how in the stories the drop is on top of him, or falling from him, as appropriate. When appearing on the left as a radical, this character uses the distorted form 犭 (see 263a), in which the drop disappears.

The big fisherman felt a drop of water on his arm (but there was no cloud in the sky). the dog was shaking itself after having been in the river. / [No pronunciation needed]
