Difficult to read handwritten character

[Lu]

如题, can anyone tell me what the first character is?

 

 

It's in a contract for a gym. I can read 'X延3个月' and even without knowing the first character I'm pretty confident it means 'extended with 3 months', but I want to know for sure. My reverse dictionary didn't know (although I enjoyed the opportunity to use it) and neither did Pleco.

 

Thanks for any help!

Looks like 顺延.

 

Incidentally, I found this with the query "@延" in Pleco ("@" is a single-character wildcard).

It is 顺延 and yes, it means extend. To be honest, as a Chinese, it is also difficult to read this character LOL

Thanks both! I had considered 顺延 but thought the right part of the written character didn't look enough like 页.

 

And thanks for that trick @Demonic_Duck, I had searched in Pleco by searching 延, clicking 'Words' and going through the whole list till the end. Your way is better.

Yeah it looks like the 页 part is missing the final 点, but if you Google image search "顺字", some of the results look pretty similar other than that.

Ohh now I see it. The downwards dip on the left of the 页 part in the handwritten character is the 丨. I guess the 点 got abandoned over time.

Here are some examples that contain 顺 from the HIT-MW database.
