− | + | The character 橡 xiàng ‘oak’ (not in Shuōwén) combines 木 (mù) ‘tree’ and 象() xiàng ‘elephant’ (phonetic); the old wr. 樣() ‘oak’ came to have rather different usage (cf. 样). | |
+ | Note: In Shuōwén 樣/橡 ‘oak/acorn’ is also wr. 象 (cf. 草/皁/皂𣁬: 栎实…象/橡斗). | ||
+ | Compare: 橡 ‘oak’ vs. 橡 ‘rubber’; the writing 橡 ‘oak’ was motivated by reuse of 樣/样 (the hard/resilient 橡 xiàng ‘oak’ is a mighty 象 xiàng ‘elephant’ among trees); the relatively late usage for 橡 ‘rubber’ (not mentioned in HDZ) might relate to 象 xiàng ‘(Indian) elephant’ (cf. 橡胶树 ‘India rubber tree’). | ||
