In Mandarin Chinese, 未 (Pinyin: wèi 🔊) is an extremely common word meaning “not” or “have not”. 未 is also the eighth of twelve earthly branches. It corresponds to the Year of the Goat (羊) of the Chinese zodiac; the sixth month; the hour of the Goat (1 pm to 3 pm, “the time when Goats eat grass and urinate frequently”); and the direction 210° (where 0° is north). Its associated “fixed element” is Earth, 土.
Note that the character 羊 refers to any actual caprid animal while 未 refers to the zodiac animal.
