| − | The | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 夬(叏) guài/jué ‘resolve/decide/choose’ (分決: 决断; 剛決/夬: 刚毅果断) is said to combine 又() yòu ‘right hand’ (cf. 右), with a shape above like 夊() representing a forked thing (path) split by a vertical line representing a decision/choice (of one path over the other). |
| − | + | Note: The SW gloss involves a pun on 决/決(𣲺) jué ‘resolve/decide/choose’ (决定 juédìng ‘decide’, 决断 juéduàn ‘decisiveness/resolution’). | |
| + | Compare: ䷪ 夬 guài, in which the ⚊ strong lines below resolve to drive out the top weak line ⚋ (a decision which will result in ䷀). | ||
| + | Compare: 筷 kuài ‘chopsticks’, formerly wr. 快(𢘦), in which the top of 夬(叏) suggests a pair of chopsticks picking up a noodle; 块/塊(凷) kuài ‘chunk’. | ||
| + | Note: 夬(叏) jué ‘archer's ivory thumbring’ (決: 扳指; cf. 玦/抉/𢎹, 彏), in which the vertical line represents the bowstring (as in 引); the thumbring was used in anc. archery to protect the thumb of the archer's right hand from the bowstring (to prevent blisters when shooting a strong bow); such thumbrings were made of ivory, bone, jade, metal, wood, or leather (cf. 韘, 拾; 韝); modern archers often wear a leather finger tab instead (drawing the bow with the fingers rather than the thumb); cf. 抉拾. | ||
| + | Older graphs associated with 夬/玦 are said to show two hands holding a large “U” shape, a penannular jade ring symbolizing authority (王宏源). | ||
| + | Note: ䷪ 夬 guài ‘break-through’, from “the bursting loose of the bow string” (Karlgren: AD440). | ||
