Glyph origin[edit]
| Historical forms of the character 厄 |
|---|
| Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) |
| Small seal script |
|
Possibly a Ideogram (指事) of a person kneeling (卩), and a small stroke to accentuate the knee (now 厂).[1] Not cognate with 戹 (“yoke”) but eventually they shared meanings.
Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *qreːɡ) : phonetic 厂 (OC *hŋaːnʔ, *hŋaːns) + semantic 卪 (“joint; node”) – wood knot.
