1091 瓦 GA, kawara, GURAMU tile, gram L1 5 strokes kawarayatiler RENGAbrick onigawaragargoyle Seal ; late graph (Shuowen). Originally a pictograph; the simple shape is interpreted as a curved earthenware container or utensil, or a curved roof tile. ‘(Roof) tile’ tends to be taken as extended sense (Ogawa, Schuessler), though Shirakawa treats this as orig. meaning. Also used for ‘gram’ (in Japanese only). OT1968:663; TA1965:618; AS2007:222-3; SS1984:82.

Sometimes taken as 41 ‘person’, with 70 ‘divide’ (Tōdō, Ogawa), but this is based on the seal form and the Shuowen explanation of same. However, OBI forms suggest phonetic – purely onomatopoeic – denoting ‘crow, mountain crow’. stands to represent the characteristic cawing sound made by such birds. As Gu suggests, is no doubt a variant way of writing NJK ‘crow’. At a later stage, was borrowed for its sound value to write another word meaning ‘elegant, refined’, now its main meaning. OT1968:1077; SS1984:84; GY2008:1410-11; KJ1985:650. Mnemonic: BIRD WITH FANGS IS ELEGANT!? Seal ; late graph (Shuowen). Has 163 ‘food, eat’, and 833 (‘I/me’, originally ‘halberd’) as phonetic with associated sense taken variously as i] ‘wither’ (Katō), ii] ‘starve’ (Ogawa), or iii] ‘sharp, angular’ (Tōdō), but all giving essentially the same overall basic meaning, i.e. ‘withered/ starving/angular body’, in other words ‘starving’. KJ1970:142; OT1968:1117; TA1965:591. Mnemonic: NEED FOOD – I’M STARVING! a different interpretation is appropriate, and they are taken as depicting a person wearing armor. Meanings such as ‘act as mediator’, ‘seek’, ‘assist’ are probably loan usages, while ‘shell’ is probably extended usage. MS1995:v1:40-41; MR2007:227-8; KJ1970:143; TA1965:605; OT1968:41.
