Glyph origin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
- 3rd earthly branch
- Smith (2011) suggests that this branch denoted the "bending, stretching, drawn out" moon phase, i.e. the waning half-moon with a concave flat edge. Smith points to
- the possible relation between 寅 (OC *lin) and 引 (OC *linʔ, “to stretch, to draw (a bow)”) (noted earlier by James Mellon Menzies); and
- that both graphs 寅 and 引 were used interchangeably as phonophorics for 螾 (OC *lin, *linʔ) and 蚓 (OC *linʔ), meaning "worm".
- Association with the tiger was possibly arbitrary, just like 辰 (chén) with the dragon (see Ferlus, 2013)
