Alternative forms [ edit ]
Note the different forms, which differ in two respects: both Simplified and Traditional do not have a left vertical stroke, while the orthodox form has a left vertical stroke; and in simplified form, the top component is connected with the bottom, while in the orthodox they are separated – this last difference is shared with unrelated characters 真 and 具 . The older form and stroke order are officially used in Japan but an alternative writing in other countries.

Etymology [ edit ]
"simply; only"
According to Schuessler (2007) , cognate with 特 (OC *dɯːɡ , “single”). Also compare Darmiya taku ( “ one ” ) .
"straight; right"
According to STEDT, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-tjak/ŋ ~ tik/ŋ ( “ good; very; real; straight ” ) , which also includes 正 (OC *tjeŋ , “first (lunar month)”), 正 (OC *tjeŋs , “straight; correct”), 政 (OC *tjeŋs , “government; rule”) and 實 (OC *ɦliɡ , “solid; true”). Cognates include Tibetan ཏིག་ཏིག ( tig tig , “ certainly ” ) , Mizo dik ( “ correct ” ) , Proto-Lolo-Burmese *N-d(y)ak ( “ truly; very; intensitive ” ) . An allofam is probably 德 (OC *tɯːɡ , “virtue”) (Schuessler, 2007 ).
