The Shuōwén Seal form of 起 qǐ ‘able to stand/get up’ combines 走 (zǒu) ‘run/rush (headlong)’, and 巳 sì ‘fetus’ (phonosemantic); to start to get up, to move from lying down (sleeping on the side, in fetal position; cf. 夗) into a sitting position, or to stand up, moving from sitting to standing position; formerly wr. 𨑖(𨑔𢀽𨑓).
Note: In the Seal form 起 the component is 巳 sì, not 己 jǐ; today both forms are sometimes seen, but 己 is standard (GFC), and was rather close phonologically in MC (see below).
Note: The SW gloss includes 能立 ‘able/about to stand up’ with 能, in which 厶(㠯已) yǐ, i.e. 巳 sì inverted; cf. 巳, 以, 似, 始.
Compare: 巳 sì ← MC /zjiʔ/; 已(㠯) yǐ ← MC /Øjiʔ/; 起 qǐ ← MC /khjiʔ/; 己(𢀒) jǐ ← MC /kjiʔ/ (SBGY).
Compare: 圯 yí ‘bridge’; 䇃(竢俟) sì ‘wait’.
Compare: 生气 shēngqì, 对不起 duìbuqǐ.
