Pictogram (象形) : a short‐tailed bird (e.g. a sparrow). Compare 鳥.

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *twil; compare Tibetan མཆིལ་པ (mchil pa, “a little bird”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Cognate with 鵻 (OC *sɢʷinʔ, *tjul) "a kind of bird (turtle-dove?)" > 騅 (OC *tjul) "horse of that bird's color > horse of mixed grey and white color".
