References:

Mostly from Richard Sears' Chinese Etymology site (authorisation),
which in turn draws data from various collections of ancient forms of Chinese characters, including:

  • Shuowen Jiezi (small seal),
  • Jinwen Bian (bronze inscriptions),
  • Liushutong (Liushutong characters) and
  • Yinxu Jiaguwen Bian (oracle bone script).

Conflation of several characters:

  1. Pictogram (象形) - axe handle; original character of (OC *kaːl) (漢語多功能字庫). Compare (jīn) which is a pictogram for the full axe.
  2. Pictogram (象形) - cane; original character of (OC *daŋʔ) (李春桃.甲骨文中的“丂”字新釋.甲骨文與殷商史(新十輯),2020:253-264.)
  3. Simplified from (OC *kʰluːʔ), which is ideogrammic compound with cane (see above) as a component.
  4. Variant of (OC *ɢʷa) (exhaled air or an ancient wind instrument).

Etymology 1

[edit]

The definition of ‘appearance of air that is to be released’ is provided by Shuowen (treated as 𠃑 + ) as an origin of the glyph, but considered suspect by modern linguists.
