The radical character 又's ancient form is a pictogram of a right hand from which the modern Chinese character 右 (right) was derived. Though 又 (again) as a modern Chinese character no longer represents the meaning of "right", the implication of "hand" is preserved in some Chinese characters fall under radical 29.
