The Shuōwén Seal form of 到(​􂂗) dào ‘arrive at, up to, until (a point/time/place)’ combines ​(​􂂕𦤴) zhì ‘up to, until’, and ​(​) dāo ‘knife (point/cut)’ (phonosemantic); later wr. ​ in some senses.
    Note: SW glosses 到 with ​ (i.e., 到 is syn. with ​ its semantic determiner); SW also uses 到 for ​ dǎo/dào ‘fall down; upside down, inverted’, cf. ​𠫓(​􂥧􂥨𡿮).
    Compare: ​(​􂂕𦤴) zhì ‘attain/arrive’ (raptor swooping down on prey); ​ dǎo/dào ‘fall/upside down’ (formerly wr. 到, cf. SW ​𠫓/​).
    Compare: ​(​􀎃), ​(​􂆀) zhào/zhāo ‘call/summon/beckon’ (sb. to come/arrive here); ​(​􁮣) zhào ‘shine’, ​(​􀧾𦍚) gāo ‘lamb’ (all with ​ phonetic, directly or indirectly).
