(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 笔:) The simple-form character 笔 bǐ ‘writing brush’ (10 strokes) is a traditional abbrev. of the full-form character 筆 (12 strokes), dating back to at least the Song dynasty; it combines 竹 zhú ‘bamboo’ over 毛 máo ‘hair’, since 毛笔 ‘writing brushes’ are made by attaching a bamboo handle to animal fur/bristles (rabbit/goat/pig/etc.).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 筆() bǐ ‘(bamboo) writing brush’ combines 竹 zhú ‘bamboo’ (handle), and 聿() yù ‘writing brush’ (phonosemantic).
Note: 筆 is said to be a Qín Dynasty word, syn. with older 聿 yù ‘writing brush’ (HDZ).
Compare: 聿() yù ← MC /Øiuet/; 笔/筆() bǐ ← MC /pjet/ (SBGY); 𦘒(帇) niè ← MC /ɳiap/.
