Etymology
In the oracle bone script, an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 弓 (“bow”) + 矢 (“arrow”) – to shoot a bow. In the bronze inscriptions, a hand (又) drawing the bowstring was added. Hence, a conservative variant is 𢎤. Later the bow and arrow on the left became 身 before or during the clerical script period, and the hand came to be written 寸. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mV-la(k) (“bow, arrow”); cognate with Tibetan མདའ (mda', “arrow”), Burmese မြား (mra:, “arrow”), Garo bra (“arrow”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2013).
