The Shuōwén Seal form of 界 jiè ‘(land/territorial) boundary/border’ combines ​田 (tián) ‘field/land’, and ​介 jiè ‘boundary/border’ (phonosemantic); cf. ​介, ​价.
    Note: SW texts differ in the structure of the Seal form, ​畍 (XX), vs. 界 (XK, DYC).
    Note: 界 jiè ‘boundary’ was formerly wr. ​介; today the meanings of ​介 are more narrow/abstract: ​介 jiè ‘introduce’ (serve as go-between, across boundaries), cf. ​介.
