iguous in writing through addition of
131 ‘road, go’ to indicate motion. Sometime
later, 34 ‘hand’ was added to help indicate
in writing the homophonous word ‘remove’.
A different interpretation is put forward by
Shirakawa, who takes to mean ‘remove
cooking pots containing offerings to the
deities’ (in this connection, see 1761 Note).
KJ1970:722; SS1984:627; BK1957:88. We suggest
taking elements as ‘hand’ 34, 247

Seal (): . The ancestral form of is
considered to be , which consists of /
42 ‘water’, combined with 1598 (‘perform
divination; occupy’) as phonetic with
associated sense taken in one view either
as ‘supply beyond needs’, giving ‘overflow’
(Katō), or ii] ‘adhere, stay’, giving ‘become
moist/wet’ (Ogawa); Shirakawa diverges
somewhat, treating the overall meaning
as ‘add to/increase items of food’, though
this does not explain the presence of the
element . Another different analysis of
takes as having the associated sense ‘stay
at one spot/place’, giving ‘cause/drop a stain’
(Tōdō) At a later stage (post-Shuowen),
sometimes came to be written instead as
(see Note below) in popular usage, and the
latter form subsequently became predominant
for the sense ‘add’. Katō regards ‘add’
as an extended sense from ‘overflow, full of
water’. Note: in relation to , replaces the
phonetic element here with (CO; ‘feel
shame’) as phonetic, both have the same
sound value in early Chinese. KJ1970:725-6;

Seal ; late graph (Shuowen). Has 64
‘soil, ground’, with 341 (traditional form of
‘truth, essence’) as phonetic with associated
sense usually taken as ‘block, fill up’,
thus ‘fill/block with earth’. This is one of several
proposed etymologies for (see 341).
Shirakawa offers a different view, taking
in the sense representing the main interpretation,
i.e ‘person upside down’ (again, see
341), thus overall original meaning for as
‘ritually bury upside-down a dead person
who met unfortunate end (through disaster,
murder, etc.)’. According to Shirakawa, this
ritual was performed to bring repose to the
soul of such a person; in the latter view,
‘fill up, block’ is a generalized sense. Note
modern simplified form . TA1965:743-5;
