The Shuōwén Seal form of 奔(𢍃) bēn ‘run’ is said to combine 夭(𫯛) yāo ‘young’ (person leaning/rushing forward), and 卉(芔) huì (phonosemantic). | The Shuōwén Seal form of 奔(𢍃) bēn ‘run’ is said to combine 夭(𫯛) yāo ‘young’ (person leaning/rushing forward), and 卉(芔) huì (phonosemantic). | ||
Note: In 奔(𢍃) bēn ‘run’ the old top component 夭 functions as in 走(𧺆) zǒu ‘run/rush (headlong)’ (cf. 奔走); in the modern form the top of 奔 is wr. 大 instead of old 夭 ‘die young’ (avoiding bad connotations); 夭(𫯛) yāo is itself a modification 大() dà ‘big’ (person with outstretched arms), with the head leaning forward (distracted); cf. 夨() zè. | Note: In 奔(𢍃) bēn ‘run’ the old top component 夭 functions as in 走(𧺆) zǒu ‘run/rush (headlong)’ (cf. 奔走); in the modern form the top of 奔 is wr. 大 instead of old 夭 ‘die young’ (avoiding bad connotations); 夭(𫯛) yāo is itself a modification 大() dà ‘big’ (person with outstretched arms), with the head leaning forward (distracted); cf. 夨() zè. | ||
