The Shuōwén Seal form of 斯() sī ‘to split open (wood, with an axe)’ combines 斤 (jīn) ‘axe’, and 其(𠔝) jī ‘winnowing basket/sieve’ (phonosemantic); later wr. 撕 ‘rive/rip’.
Note: 析() xī ‘split’ glossing 斯() sī ‘split’ in SW seems like a pun (the old forms are similar, but do not rhyme); cf. 死(𣦸): 澌().
Compare: 澌() sī ‘dried up river’; 其(𠔝) qí ‘winnowing basket/sieve’.
“[斯] To 斤 split wood, fuel, and put into a 其 basket” —Karlgren(AD).
Note: In modern usage 斯 is used mainly in writing foreign names/words: 伊斯兰, 爱斯基摩, 巴基斯坦, 俄罗斯; 盎斯, 迪斯科, 阿斯匹林.
Note: In bookish (书) usage 斯 sī ‘(pron.) this/such; its’, and var. other gr. funct. senses.
Note: (诗) (墓門) 墓門有棘、斧以斯之 “At the gate to the tombs there are jujube trees; -- They should be cut away with an axe.” (Legge)
Note: (诗) (殷其靁) 何斯違斯、莫敢或遑 “How was it he went away from this, Not daring to take a little rest?” (Legge)
Note: (诗) (載芟) 播厥百穀、實函斯活 “They sow their different kinds of grain, Each seed containing in it a germ of life.” (Legge) [ 活 huó ]
