| − | + | The character 喂 wèi ‘fear’ combines 口 (kǒu) ‘mouth/voice’ (cry), and 畏(𤱫𤱖) wèi ‘fear/fearful’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 畏(𤱫𤰣𠂽𪽉), the top of 畏 is 甶() ‘demon head’ (of 鬼 guǐ). | |
| − | Compare: 喟 kuì ‘sigh’. | + | Compare: 喟(𠿥) kuì ‘sigh’; 胃(𦞅) wèi ‘stomach’. |
| + | Note: Modern 喂 wèi ‘feed/raise (children/livestock/etc)’ was formerly wr. 胃(𦞅), and also unclearly 萎(), but in an attempt to more clearly distinguish ‘feed’ from ‘stomach’, and since the form 喟 ‘sigh’ was already used, the form 喂 (redundantly 畏 ‘fear’) was re-purposed for ‘feed/raise’; in the form 喂 ‘feed/raise’, it should be said that 畏 stands for 胃(𦞅) wèi ‘stomach’ (abbrev. phonosemantic). | ||
| + | Compare: 鬼(𩲚) guǐ ‘ghost/spirit/demon’; 危() wēi ‘fear (of heights); vertigo/acrophobia’. | ||
