| − | Note: | + | Note: The SW gloss involves a pun on 决/決(𣲺) jué ‘resolve/decide/choose’ (决定 juédìng ‘decide’, 决断 juéduàn ‘decisiveness/resolution’). |
| − | Older graphs associated with 夬/玦 seem to show two hands holding a large U shape | + | Compare: ䷪ 夬 guài, in which the ⚊ strong lines below resolve to drive out the top weak line ⚋ (a decision which will result in ䷀). |
| − | Note: ䷪ 夬 guài | + | 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: Also interpreted as 夬(叏) jué ‘archer's ivory thumbring’ (決: 扳指; cf. 玦), the vertical line representing 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 drawing 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). | |
