 <WL>挖 [wā] dig out (挖掉, 挖出), excavate (挖掘); dredge (疏挖)@@; (HDZ:) 掘 (挖土, 挖水沟; cf. 穵); 掏取; 抓; (方言) 敲打 (挖他几栗壳)
-From 扌(手 shǒu) ‘hand’ and 穵 yà ‘cave; hollow’.
+The character 挖 wā ‘dig out (by hand)’ combines 扌(手 shǒu) ‘hand’, and 穵(􁐋) yà/wā ‘hole/dig’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 穵 (wā).
-	Note: 挖 wā ‘dig’ was formerly wr. 穵; the ‘hand’ radical was added to distinguish the verb.
+	Note: In 挖 wā ‘dig’ (formerly wr. 穵) the component 扌(手) distinguishes 穵 wā (v.) ‘dig’, vs. 穵 yà (n.) ‘hole’.
+	Compare: 穵(􁐋) yà/wā ‘hole/dig’ ← MC /ʔet/ʔuet/; 捾(􂄮) wò ‘scoop/dig/gouge out’ ← MC /ʔuɑt/ (SBGY).
