There were 5 forms of 卒 in Shang oracle bone script (Qiu, 1990; Xuan, 2012):

1. : same as 衣 (“clothes”) (> Western Zhou bronze script );
2. : a crisscross 衣 - a completed clothing;
3. (卒): ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 衣 (“clothes”) with a mark - a completed clothing to be folded (> Warring States bronze script ; Chu slip and silk script );
4. (𧙻): phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) : 衣 (“clothes”) + 聿 (OC *b·lud) (hand (又) holding a brush);
5. ,: 𧙻 having 又 omitted.

The brush shape in form (5) was often placed upside down. Later the inverted brush shape was mistaken as 又 and then moved to the top as in Chu slip and silk script (𰠄) to avoid obscuration with 袁 (衣 + 又) (Xuan, 2012).

From 遭 (OC *ʔsluː, “to meet”) + nominal suffix *-t (Schuessler, 2007).
