at; from; because; than; (classical final particle similar to 嗎|吗[ma5], 吧[ba5], 呢[ne5], expressing question, doubt or astonishment)
乎 — the classical question and preposition particle
乎 originally depicted an exhalation of breath — a spoken particle by nature. It was borrowed purely for its sound to serve as a classical question and preposition marker, so its stroke components carry no semantic weight here.
