Etymology
Pictogram (象形) of an axe or halberd, almost identical to 戊 and similar to 戈. Smith (2011) proposes that 戌 (OC *smid), graphically depicting an ax or halberd, is a nominal derivative of the verb 滅 (OC *med) "to annihilate" "by the multivalent prefix *s- (‘annihilate’ > ‘annihilator’ and thus ‘axe’)", and it was used to name the late, broad waxing crescent moon. Association with the dog was possibly arbitrary, just as how 辰 was associated arbitrarily with the dragon (see Ferlus, 2013).
