-<WL>窄 [zhǎi] narrow
+<WL>窄 [zhǎi] 狭窄, 逼窄 narrow (心地狭窄 ‘small/narrow-minded’)@@; (HDZ:) 狭小, 狭隘; 使缩小; 窘迫, 困窘; 醡: 榨酒器; (姓)
-From 穴 (xué) ‘hole’ and 乍 zhà (‘suddenly’) phonetic.
+The character 窄 zhǎi ‘narrow (hole/gap)’ combines 穴 (xué) ‘hole’, and 乍(􂍸𠆦) zhà (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 笮(􀲅).
-	Since 乍 represents 入 going into a 𠃊 corner but being 一 obstructed, it also suggests the meaning ‘narrow’.
+	Compare: 笮(􀲅) zé ‘exterior purlins (narrow boards, supporting roof tiles)’.
+	Compare: 乍(􂍸𠆦) zhà/zuò ‘try to hide (in a nook/hole); hastily/suddenly’.
