The Shuōwén Seal form of 猪/豬 zhū ‘(dense-bristled) pig’ combines 犭/豕 shǐ ‘pig’, and 者 zhě/zhù/zhū (phonosemantic).
Note: SW describes 猪/豬 zhū ← MC /ʈjo/ as a dense-bristled variety of 豕 shǐ ‘pig’ with densely-packed bristles (three hairs ‘dwelling in’ each follicle), punning on 居/凥 jū ‘squat/dwell’ ← MC /kjo/ (SBGY), cf. 家(𠖔); pigs are said to have been domesticated (first captured and raised for food) some 8,000 years ago (HDZ).
Compare: 肚 dù/dǔ ‘belly/tripe’, formerly also wr. 䐗; 豬 zhū ‘pig’, formerly also wr. 䐗.
Compare: 箸 zhù ‘(bamboo) chopsticks’; 潴/瀦 zhū ‘puddle/pool/pond/lake’, also wr. 豬/都.
