清华简《五纪》的“骸”及相关字的再讨论

A Revaluation of Hai and Related Graphs in the Tsinghua Wuji Manuscript

《五纪》中新见的■,以"足""肉"为附加意符,以"巳""子"为附加声符,是"骸"的形声异构字,所记录的词义为小腿骨(或小腿)。这组字左上所从的"■"或"■"应即甲骨文■字,可隶作"■",其词义范围可锁定在人的腿部。由此我们提出了两种推测,其一,"■"可能代表"骸"的初文;其二,"骸""胫""股"很可能同源,都是由"■"这一指示字分化而来。

The graphs■,and"■"are forms newly seen in the Wuji五纪.They use zu足and rou肉as additional signific and si巳or zi子as phonophore,together they form the alternatively structured pictophonetic graph hai骸(shank).The top left component of the graph,written as"■"or"■",probably comes from the OBI graphic form■,or"■",and can be transcribed as■,its semantic range can be limited to the human leg.Based on this,we propose two theses:1)"qi■"may be a proto-form of hai骸.2)hai骸,jing胫,and gu股in all likelihood all developed from the same root form■.
