The Shuōwén Seal form of 作 zuò ‘arise/make’ combines ​(​ rén) ‘person’, and ​(​𠆦) zhà (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​, and also ​ cf. ​.
    Note: SW glosses both 作 and ​ with ​ qǐ ‘rise/raise/stir/start up’ (​); the primary meaning 作 zuò ‘make/made; create; write/written’ is evident in SW usage in the glosses of other characters.
    Note: 作 zuò ‘suddenly spring/rise up; rise/raise/produce; begin/start; stand up; rouse/exert; happen/appear; (do manual) work; make; create; institute/establish; foster (achievements); take charge of, treat/serve as; work/employ (labor); undertaking/matter; measure/step/method; work/product; etc.’ (HDZ).
    Compare: ​作​ ‘start to work’; ​作 fāzuò, ​作 dàzuò ‘break out, spring/flare up; erupt’, ​作 ‘a fierce gale sprang up’, ​作​ ‘stir up trouble’.
    Note: The two characters 作/​ zuò ‘do/make’ are sometimes used interchangeably; 作 is the older form, today seen in more formal/abstract usage, while ​ is a more recent creation, used in colloquial/concrete contexts (GFC); 作 zuò has several less common readings not applicable to ​ zuò; for more, cf. ​.
