《说文》“■”与其诸“借字”及“釁”字关系之分析

The relations between the character “■ ”and its loan graphs and the character 釁

甲骨文■,于省吾先生释为■,并把典籍中相关的"幾、刏、祈"视为■之"借字"。通过对■与这几个"借字"之间关系的分析,指出■为本字,幾为其简体形式,讹误作畿。刏和■基本意义用法相同,刏近乎的异体,而祈则是的假借字。釁与■/■都表示血祭形式,具体用法有別,但意义有交叉。

Mr. Yu Xingwu explained the oracle bone character ■as,■and regarded the characters 幾,刏,and 祈 in classical texts as loan graphs of the character. This paper analyzes the relations between the character and its loan graphs,and reveals that is the original graph,幾 being its simplified form. Later it was falsely written as 畿. The basic meaning and usage of the characters 刏and are identical,and 刏 can be regarded as the allograph of,while 祈 is the loan graph of. 釁 and / express sacrificial offerings,their exact usages are different,but their meanings overlap.
