| − | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 夂() zhǐ is said to depict a 人() ‘person’, with a line ㇏(及) jí ‘catching’ the two legs, indicating impediment, or the trail of 所致 past/causal events, ‘something holding him back (seeing him off)’. But in very old graphs the shape is connected with 止() zhǐ ‘foot’ inverted (cf. 各); 夂 and 止 are both zhǐ, not homophones in SBGY, but similar. | |
| − | + | 夂 zhǐ is not used in words beside the radical 34 name (夂部), but the shape 夂 is a common component, associated not only with 夂() zhǐ, but also with 夊() suī ‘walk slowly’ (dragging the feet, in straw sandals, or dancing shoes), and also with 攵(攴) pū ‘beat’. | |
| − | + | The characters 夊() suī and 夂() zhǐ are distinct in Shuōwén (and are distinct radicals). In later dictionaries organized by the traditional 214 Kangxi (KX) radicals they are also distinct radicals. The 35th radical 夊() suī is distinguished from the 34th radical 夂() zhǐ, although they are generally both written 夂 today, especially when used as a component. In general, when 夂 occurs at the top of a character, it is assigned to radical 34 (夂 zhǐ); but at the bottom, it is assigned to radical 35 (夊 suī). Compare 攵(攴) pū ‘beat’ (KX radical 66) which has four strokes (and typically occurs on the right), but may be abbreviated to a shape like 夂 with only three strokes when used as a character component. | |
