Has 209 ‘flesh, meat, body’, and (three bulging arms [see 78], giving ‘combined strength’) as phonetic with associated sense ‘side (of the chest)’ (Katō says ‘that which is between the elbows’), thus ‘side of the chest’; ‘threaten’ is a loan usage. MS1995:v1:138-40; KJ1970:360-61; OT1968:821; GY2008:680-81. Mnemonic: THREE STRONG ARMS THREATEN ONE’S BODY sense. Since a bent arrow needed straightening to fly true, over time ‘straighten’ evolved as a second extended sense, and this has come to be the main meaning. Note: bronze forms of consist of 132 (‘high’; originally tall structure, such as watchtower), with curved stroke(s) signifying ‘curved’. That is, both mean ‘high’ now. MS1995:v1:236-7; KJ1970:274-5; SS1984:200; TA1965:263. We suggest remembering in association with 277 ‘bridge’.

Shirakawa, however, interprets as ‘hit to admonish someone making spell-like prayer’, with added, he suggests, as an animal easily startled. The former view seems more persuasive.
