| − | The simple-form character 脉 mài | + | The simple-form character 脉 (9 strokes) is an old abbrev. of the full-form character 脈 (10 strokes), replacing the full-form component 𠂢 (6 strokes) with the related form 永 (5 strokes). |
| − | + | The simple-form character 脉 mài ‘artery/vein; pulse’ combines 月(肉 ròu) ‘flesh’, and 永 (yǒng) ‘always/forever’ (永远): strong pulse, long life. | |
| + | Note: The old forms of the components 𠂢 and 永 are opposites (mirror images), not clearly distinct historically (see below); but 永 is a common character and component (with one less stroke), while 𠂢 is today only used as a component, and does not occur in any common words (the character 𠂢 was replaced by the compound character 派). | ||
| + | The full-form character 脈 is only one of the traditional forms of this character, with 𠂢 pài (phonetic) instead of 永 (yǒng); formerly also wr. 𧖴 and 衇, with 血 xuè/xuě ‘blood’ instead of 月(肉 ròu) ‘flesh’; the forms with 月/肉 are something of a euphemism (eugraphism), since 血 has unlucky connotations (cf. 衅). | ||
| + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 脉/脈() mài ‘blood vessels’ combines 月(肉 ròu) ‘flesh’, and 𠂢() pài ‘tributary, river branch’ (phonosemantic); the main SW form is 𧖴(), with 血() xuè/xuě ‘blood (vessel)’ on the right; formerly also wr. 衇(), with 血 xuè/xuě ‘blood’ on the left. | ||
| + | Compare: 𠂢() pài ‘tributary’, vs. 永() yǒng ‘distributary’; these are not clearly distinct in old forms, but 脈 is attested earlier than 脉; cf. 𠂢, 永. | ||
