Seal . Has 3 ‘rain’, and (NJK; originally,<br />

depiction of a beard) as phonetic with associated<br />

sense taken either as i] ‘become wet<br />

with rain and go soft’ (Ogawa), or ii] ‘become<br />

wet’ (Katō), in either case giving overall sense<br />

‘become wet’. In the case of this graph, the seal<br />

Seal ; a late graph (Shuowen). Has 41 ‘person’,<br />

and 1447 (‘demand’) as phonetic with<br />

associated sense taken in one view as ‘weak’,<br />

giving ‘weak dwarf’. This is the view of Katō,<br />

who asserts that persons of this type were in<br />

form onwards represents a different line of<br />

development from earlier, at least initially. The<br />

equivalent in OBI texts has a standing figure<br />

similar in shape to 56 ‘big’, accompanied by<br />

water droplets; this is found in bronze also, but<br />

more common is a standing figure with ‘rain’<br />

above, showing the transitional stage towards<br />

later . Meanings such as ‘seek; demand’ are<br />

loan usages. MS1995:1420-21; KJ1970:508;<br />

OT1968:1086. We suggest taking as a rake.<br />

control of various fields such as divination, music,<br />

astronomy, and divination. It is thought that<br />

shamans in ancient China were often hunchbacks<br />

or others with unusual physical characteristics.<br />

Gu agrees that there were persons<br />

in charge of fields such as those mentioned<br />

above, but makes no reference to dwarf stature<br />

or the like. The meaning ‘Confucianism’ for <br />

probably evolved as a specialised extended<br />

sense. KJ1970:508; GY2008:1892-3.<br />

OBI ; seal . Depicts 41 ‘person’ inside<br />

an enclosure 84, which is represented<br />

fairly consistently in this graph even in OBI<br />

texts, giving ‘capture; prisoner’. MR2007:346;<br />

OBI ; seal . Originally, a pictograph of a<br />

boat. The seal form has an additional component,<br />

perhaps representing a raised stern.<br />

GY2008:294; OT1968:837; MS1995:v2:1098-9;.<br />

Suggest taking the top stroke as (short) mooring<br />

rope, the dots as people sitting in it, the<br />

cross-stroke as oar, and the boat itself of course<br />

is lacking a stern.<br />
