The Shuōwén Seal form of 世(㔺𠀍丗) shì ‘thirty/many years/branches (a generation)’ is said to modify 卅(𠦃) sà ‘thirty’ (phonosemantic) by pulling/bending inward the bottom ends of the two outside vertical strokes, to form a branching tree-like shape: at thirty years of age the son becomes a father; at thirty-year intervals, in the course of long drawn-out time, each generation begets the next, each branch puts forth its own branches, diverging from the common root ancestor.
Note: SW glosses the modification of 卅(𠦃) with 曳(𦥙抴) yè ‘drag/pull/lengthen’ (曳长: 拉长), in which the stroke is 𠂆 yì ‘stretch/pull/draw out’ (phonosemantic); cf. 乁 yí (流), 𡿨 quǎn (畎), 巜 (澮), 巛 (川); successive generations of men flow through time in the way that a branching river system flows through the earth.
Compare: 𠂆(抴曳) yì ← MC /Øiais/; 世(㔺𠀍丗) shì ← MC /ɕiais/ (SBGY).
Compare: 止 zhǐ ‘foot; stand/stop; base/bottom’, the branching of the foot into 趾 toes; the old basis of 世(㔺) might have been 止 zhǐ (phonosemantic), with the 三 three horizontal lines added to indicate additional branches.
Compare: 葉 yè ‘leaf/leaves (of a plant)’, formerly wr. 枼(枽), and later wr. 叶.
Compare: 十 shí ‘ten’ (all four cardinal directions and their center); 古 gǔ ‘ancient/old’.
Older graphs associated with 世 also suggest 止 and later modifications thereof.
