| − | + | The simple-form character 双 shuāng ‘pair/double’ (4 strokes) is an old abbrev. of the full-form character 雙 (18 strokes), doubling the lower full-form component 又 (2 strokes), and omitting the entire upper full-form component 雔 (16 strokes). | |
| − | The full form 雙 | + | Note: The simple form 双 is an old abbrev. of 雙, first attested in the mid 13th c. (宋元); the form 双 with two 又 (yòu) ‘hands’ (forming a pair) is like the old wr. 㕛 of 友 yǒu ‘(two) friends’ (hand-in-hand); as a component in simple-form characters 聂/聶 and 轰/轟 it replaces different doubled (tripled) components; in other cases the shape has different origin (cf. 网, 桑, 叕, 爻). |
| + | The full-form character 雙 shuāng ‘pair/double’ doubles 隹 (zhuī) ‘short-tailed bird’ (the old component 雔 is not much used today) over 又 (yòu) ‘hand’. | ||
| + | Note: The component 雔 chóu is not much used today, but seen in 雠/讎 chóu (later wr. 售 in some senses), and also in 霍/靃 huò; the bottom part 又 yòu is an old abbrev. of 手 shǒu ‘hand’. | ||
| + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 双/雙() shuāng ‘pair of birds (in the hand)’ combines 雔() chōu ‘pair of short-tailed birds’ (phonosemantic), and 又() yòu ‘right hand’; two birds caught (in a net) and held in the hand are better than 隻() only one (in 隻 the other escaped into the bush). | ||
| + | Compare: 只/隻() zhǐ ‘only’ (one of a pair), formerly also 隻/蒦/獲 huò ‘catch/capture’, and used as an abbrev. of 雙 (HDZ). | ||
| + | Compare: 友(㕛) yǒu ‘(two) friends (hand-in-hand)’ (朋友); 桑(); 叕(), 网(), 爻(). | ||
