| − | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 肯/肎(𦘫肻𠕔) kěn ‘flesh/meat on the bone’ combines 冎() guǎ ‘skull/bone’ (abbrev.), and 月/肉() ròu ‘flesh’. | |
| − | + | Note: In the modern form 肯 the old top component 冖 is wr. like 止; 冖/𠔼 is said to be an abbrev. of 冎, but in the forms 肯/肻 the part 止/ is short for 𣦵(𣦵歺歹) è/dǎi ‘carcass/bad’ (in which also 冎 abbrev.). | |
| − | + | Note: The old meaning 肯 ‘flesh/meat (on the bone)’ was lost, and the character today is used for 肯 kěn‘willing; approve; definitely’. | |
| + | Compare: ⾻()gǔ ‘bone’, in which 冎 is not abbrev., and so 肎 may be seen as an abbrev. of ⾻. | ||
