非王卜辞的“瘳”补说

Further Demonstration of the Character "瘳" In the Non-royal Oracle Bone Inscriptions

殷墟甲骨文非王卜辞中多次出现一个可隶定作"■"的字,意为"疾病痊愈",已有研究者提出可能应读为"瘳"。但其释字为"纽"之说不可信。"■"字应释为古书中"纠绞"义的"缪、摎"等字的表意初文;有的字形还加注"帚"声。由此可以论定"■"当释读为"瘳"。

In the Non-royal Oracle Bone Inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, a character which means ＂the disease be fully recovered＂ appears many times, and this character can be liding as ＂t1[1＂. Researchers have proposed that it should be read as ＂~＂, but it is not credible to explain it as ＂纽＂. This paper ar- gues that ＂歲＂ should be explained as the early ideographic character of ＂繆、摎＂, which means ＂entan- gle＂ in ancient books and we found that the phonetic ＂帚＂ is added to some glyphs of this character. Because of this, we can draw a conclusion that ＂歲＂should be read and explained as ＂瘳＂.
