Pictogram (象形): leaves growing from a tree. Original form of 葉 (OC *hljeb, *leb, “leaf”). Later phonetically borrowed as an instance of jiajie (假借) to represent 枼 (OC *leb, “flat”).

Shuowen mistakes it for a compound.

Etymology 1

枼 and characters derived from it represent the phonetic series *lep with the root meanings of “flat, wide, thin”. Members from this word family possibly include:

• 葉 (OC *hljeb, *leb, “leaf”)
• 鰈 (OC *l̥ʰaːb, *l'eːb, “flatfish, plaice”)
• 楪 (OC *leb) > 碟 (OC *l'eːb, “plate”)
• 牒 (OC *l'eːb, “official document < plank”).
• 蝶 (OC *l̥ʰeːb, *l'eːb, “butterfly”) > 蝴蝶 (OC *ɡaː l'eːb)

Compare with the Middle Korean:

• 나븨 (napuy, “butterfly”) (modern 나비 (nabi))
• 닢 (niph, “leaf”) (modern 잎 (ip))
• 넙치 (nepchi, “flatfish”),

These are likewise derived from the similarly shaped adjective root 넙다 (nepta, “to be wide, flat”) (modern 넓다 (neolda)).

See 蝴蝶 (húdié) for more information.
