| − | <WL>杀(F殺) [shā] kill@@ [shài] [sà] [xiè] [shì] [shà] cf. 殺 | + | <WL>杀(F殺) [shā] kill/murder (杀害, 杀死), slay/massacre; to death@@ [shài] [sà] [xiè] [shì] [shà] cf. 殺 |
| − | + | The simple-form character 杀 (6 strokes) is an old form, today seen as an abbrev. of the full-form character 殺 (10 strokes), omitting the right-side full-form component 殳 (4 strokes). | |
| − | + | Note: The shape 杀 in 殺 derives from the old variant form 𢁛() discussed below; the simple form 杀 suggests 乂() yì ‘to cut down’ (刈, to X/cross out; cf. 爻), and 木() mù ‘tree’ (decapitate), but the lower part 木 (short for 术 in some old forms) corresponds to the bottom of the old form 𢁛. | |
| − | + | The full-form character 殺 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of older forms such as 𣪩 (13 strokes), in which the left-side part ⿱爻朮 (9 strokes) corresponds to old 𢁛 (6 strokes), later wr. 杀 (6 strokes). | |
| − | #rW.45j K.AD1154 D.2.1155.3 B.031.1.03 | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 殺() shā ‘slay/kill’ (戮) is said to combine 术(朮秫) shú ‘sorghum’ (grain/cereal), and 殽() xiáo/yáo ‘mix/mingle; meat’ (abbrev. phonosemantic), which is itself a variant of 肴(𦙩) yáo/xiáo ‘cut meat’. |
| − | # | + | Note: 术 in 殺() suggests 術() shù ‘skill’ (martial art), and but is an agricultural/animal-husbandry reference (cf. 畜); perhaps formerly 杀/殺() shā ‘flail (grain); beat/kill’, cf. 殳; SW includes several variants of 殺, all lacking traditional structural analysis: 𣪩(), 𢿹(), 𢽅(), 𢁛(), 𠮁(); the old form 𢁛() is of special interest, since it explains the structure of the other forms, and is the ancestor of the simple form 杀 (see below). |
| + | Compare: 㣇(𡱃𢑞𠭣) yì ‘wild boar’; in the old form 𢁛() shā ‘slay/kill’ the top stroke replaces/decapitates the 彑() jì ‘boar's head/snout/tusks’ (cf. 亠/头 tóu); thus, 𢁛() represents the legs/body of the slain/decapitated pig. | ||
| + | Compare: 𧰧(豕) shǐ ‘pig’, 𢁓(亥) hài (地支). | ||
| + | Compare: 希/稀() xī ‘sparse (grain/grass)’; as a component 稀 (abbrev.) becomes 希. | ||
| + | Older graphs associated with 杀/殺() shā ‘slay/kill’ (HDZ) resemble the SW variant form 𢁛(), perhaps depicting a boar shot by an arrow (the fletched end of the arrow protrudes from the body); cf. 矢. | ||
| + | Note: The component 术(朮) shú ‘sorghum’ has a 丶 ‘dot’, sometimes present in 11-stroke full forms of 殺; in Unicode the 10 and 11-stroke variant glyphs were unified under a single abstract character. | ||
