 <WL>茍(=􁣛􁣜𠷜𦰶)(!􀊰苟) [jì] fearful; nervous; respectful; (component: 敬𢾠𤰈𩍁僃…)@@; (HDZ:) (SW:) 自急敕
-The Shuōwén Seal form of 茍(􁣛) jì ‘respectful’ combines 羊(􀧼􀧵𠁥) yáng ‘goat/sheep’ (abbrev.), with 勹(􁣆) bāo ‘wrap/bundle’ (cf. 包/抱, as in 抱歉 ‘sorry’), and 口 kǒu ‘mouth’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 茍(􁣛) jì ‘very fearful/nervous/cautious/respectful’ combines 𠁥(􀧵𦫳) guǎi ‘horns’ (of a timid/gentle goat/sheep), with 勹(􁣆) bāo ‘wrap/bundle’ (cf. 包/抱, as in 抱歉 ‘sorry’), and 口 kǒu ‘mouth’ (speak); careful/prudent in speech (quiet/gentle/timid as a lamb, not making a peep); formerly also wr. 𠷜(􁣜), with 羊(􀧼) yáng ‘(timid/gentle) goat/sheep’.
-	Note: Use of the 羊 component is explained relative to the meanings of that component in: 義/儀 ‘right/rite’, 善 ‘good’, 美 ‘beautiful’.
+	Note: The function of the components 𠁥/羊 in 茍 is as in 義/儀 ‘right/rite’, 善 ‘good’, 美 ‘beautiful’.
-	Compare: 敬(􁣝𢿩) jìng (as in 尊敬 zūnjìng ‘respect’); 茍 was an old wr. of 敬 (which replaced it; and hence it is 亦声 ‘phonosemantic’ in 敬).
+	Note: The SW gloss of 茍 jì ‘自急敕’ puns on 急 jí ‘very/extremely’; cf. 敕/飭 chì ‘very cautious/careful; carefully arrange’ ← MC /ʈhjik/ (SBGY).
-	Compare: 苟(􀊰) gǒu, the top of which really is 艹(草) cǎo ‘grass’; but 茍 is commonly written as 苟 in compounds.
+	Compare: 茍(􁣛) jì ← MC /kjik/; 敬(􁣝𢿩) jìng (as in 尊敬 zūnjìng ‘respect’) ← MC /kjaŋs/; 急(􁳳㤂) jí ← MC /kjep/ (SBGY).
-	Note: 茍 (like 苟) is classified under 艹 ‘grass radical’ in the 《康熙》 dictionary.
+	Compare: 苟(􀊰) gǒu, the top of which is 艹(草) cǎo ‘grass’; but 茍 is commonly wr. like 苟 in compounds.

+	Note: 茍 and 苟 are both classified under 艹(草) cǎo ‘grass’ radical #140 in Kangxi.
