Glyph originEdit

Historical forms of the character 有
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Large seal script Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢʷɯʔ): phonetic 又 ‎(OC *ɢʷɯs, “hand”) + semantic ⺼ ‎(“meat”) – a hand holding meat, hence “in possession of”. 又 is both a phonetic and semantic component. The hand shape has been significantly abstracted; compare 右 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ, *ɢʷɯs).

Alternatively, the graph was perhaps originally intended for the word 醢 (OC *qʰɯːʔ, “minced pickled meat”), which also has the 又 (OC *ɢʷɯs) element as phonetic.

Shuowen Jiezi and other ancient sources have erroneously analyzed the character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢʷɯʔ): phonetic 又 ‎(OC *ɢʷɯs) + semantic 月 ‎(“moon”). Shuowen Jiezi defines 有 as "不宜有也" ("[to have something that] not should be had"), citing the Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋傳): "日月有食之" ("There are solar and lunar eclipses"). As eclipses were not auspicious to the Chinese, they were "something that should not be happening". The 月 component alludes to the inauspicious lunar eclipse.

Etymology 1Edit

Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Tibetan ཡོད་པ ‎(yod pa, “to be; to have”). Related to:

  • 侑 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “to offer, to sacrifice”) [causative, i.e. “to cause to have”]
  • 又 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “again”) [adverbial]
  • 或 (OC *ɡʷɯːɡ, “some; or”) [indefinite]
