Seal ; late graph (Shuowen); traditional form
has on right. Has 118 ‘speak’, and (NJK
‘say, articulate’, with 匃 CO ‘stop and ask’,
as phonetic having associated sense ‘stop,
detain’), thus ‘stop and question’ (Ogawa); or
‘question loudly’ (Gu), thus ‘request’. Katō accounts
for the sense ‘audience, meeting with
someone of high status’ by noting that when
seeking an audience, a request involved writing
down the name of the audience-seeker,
which was then presented to the person of
high status, and this gave rise to ‘audience’ by
association. MS1995:v1:148-9; GY2008:1336;
KJ1970:97; OT1968:933. Note here is not
‘smell’ 1821, though same shape. Take / as

Widely seen as 231 ‘gate’, and 553 (interpretations
include ‘be glad’ [Gu, Schuessler],
‘one who pleases the deities’ [Ogawa], ‘shaman’
[Katō]), here as phonetic with associated sense
‘count’, giving a core meaning ‘line up and
count’ (Shirakawa adds ‘horses and vehicles
within the gates’, Ogawa adds ‘horses and vehicles
at mausoleum gates’). Katō, alternatively,
treats here not as ‘gate’ but as an abbreviation
of a more complex element consisting of
an archaic form of ‘under, go down’ 7 over
, which he asserts has the meaning ‘set out,
arrange’; despite this different analysis of ,
the overall meaning Katō arrives at is similarly
‘line up and count’. SS1984:52; OT1968:1061;
