Glyph origin[edit]

Historical forms of the character 嘼
Shang Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (嘼) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
獸 *qʰljus
嘼 *qʰlus

According to the Shuowen Jiezi, a pictogram (象形) of an animal, with 吅 for its ears and 田 for its head. The feet, originally depicted as 厹 in the variant 𠾧, simplified as 口.[1]

The Shuowen explanation of the character conflicts with several scholars. Huang Dekuan considers the character to be a compound of 單 with 口 added as a distinguishing mark,[2] making it a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) . This aligns with Ji Xusheng's criticism of the pronunciation given in the Shuowen (fanqie 許救切). He argues that there is no evidence supporting it, while there's proof of it instead being pronounced the same as 單 (OC *taːn, *djan, *djanʔ, *djans). According to him, however, 嘼 should be a ideogram (指事) of 獸, with the 犬 component omitted. [3]
