Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *slew, *slews): phonetic 小 (OC *smewʔ) + semantic 月 (“moon”). The character may have been the original form of 宵 (OC *sew, “night”). Shuowen Jiezi has erroneously analyzed the character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *slew, *slews): phonetic 小 (OC *smewʔ) + semantic 肉 (“meat”).
