“The ancient characters represent round or flat weights piled up on a kind of support” —Wieger.
    “The small seal has ​ (rén) at the top, ​ (tǔ) at the bottom and ​ (dōng) phonetic in the middle; this is not original, for an older form is simply a picture of a weighing-machine, see WIEGER” —Karlgren.
