Glyph originEdit
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢʷi): semantic 糸 (“thread”) + phonetic 隹 – to tie fast, to maintain.
The original pronunciation of 隹 (OC *ɢʷi) was lost after the classical period, but can still be seen in other characters of the phonetic series:
- 惟 (OC *ɢʷi, “to think”),
- 唯 (OC *ɢʷi, *ɢʷiʔ, “only”),
- 雖 (OC *sqʰʷi, “although”),
- 帷 (OC *ɢʷril, “curtain, screen”) and
- 淮 (OC *ɡʷriːl, “Huai River”).
