original meanig

Review: "Silk rope" is probably not the character's original meaning. On the 己 entry, I said that the graph POSSIBLY depicts a silk rope and is POSSIBLY the original form of 紀. We are still not sure yet so until then, probably not the case.

Changed fields: originalMeaning

Original meaning: silk rope

Phonosemantic compound. 纟 represents the meaning and 己 represents the sound. Simplified form of 紀.
