Pictogram (象形) . Multiple interpretations:
- A sacrificial vessel used for chopping and holding meat, as viewed from above (Wang, 1923) – original form of 俎 (OC *ʔsraʔ).
- An erect penis, the symbol of the male ancestor (Guo, 1931) – original form of 祖 (OC *ʔsaːʔ).
- A stone altar – original form of 祖 (OC *ʔsaːʔ).
In the oracle bones and bronze inscriptions, this character was commonly used as 祖 (OC *ʔsaːʔ). Usage as 俎 (OC *ʔsraʔ) is not attested until the Warring States period in the bamboo script.
Etymology
- “and; also; almost; be going to”
- Cognate with 將 (OC *ʔsaŋ, *ʔsaŋs) (Schuessler, 2007).
