-<WL>牺(F犧) [xī] 牺牲 xīshēng sacrifice@@  [suō] cf. 犧
+<WL>牺(F犧) [xī] 牺牲 sacrifice; martyr@@  [suō] cf. 犧
-From 牛 (niú) ‘ox’ and (full form:) 羲 xī or (simple form:) 西 xī phonetic.
+The simple-form character 牺 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 犧 (20 strokes), replacing the full-form component 羲 (16 strokes) with 西 (6 strokes).
-	The ox is the sacrificial victim.
+	The Shuōwén Seal form of 犧(􀌵) xī ‘(clean/intact) sacrificial animal (in ancestral temple sacrifices)’ combines 牛 (niú) ‘ox’, and 羲(􀴼) xī (phonosemantic).
+	Note: SW includes an opinion that 犧(􀌵) is not an old character, app. formerly wr. 羲(􀴼), or 義(􂍬), cf. 犠.
+	Compare: 伏羲/犧/戲, 虙戲/羲 Fúxī; 義(􂍬) yí ‘manners; ceremony’.
