Pictogram (象形 ) – hand and fingers. The top stroke is the bent over middle finger, while the horizontal strokes are each two fingers. Compare爪 ,寸 ,九 ,又 , and彐 as a stylized hand. Compare丑 as an animal claw. See also the bottom part of举 and奉 .
Note that unlike the other hand/claw characters,手 has consistently had five fingers: a mammalian/human hand, as opposed to the three digits often found in the others.
Compare also止 (“foot”), derived from a footprint pointing upward, originally composed of 3 toes and a sole.
STEDT compares this word toProto-Sino-Tibetan *g-(t)sjəw-k/ŋ ( “ wing; hand ” ) based on Karlgren's Archaic Chinese (Old Chinese ) reconstruction*śi̯ôg , connecting it toTibetan གཤོག ( gshog ,“ wing ” ) .
However, this comparison is not supported by more recent scholarship, in which theOld Chinese is reconstructed with an alveolar nasal (Unger, 1995 ;Zhengzhang, 1995 ;Baxter and Sagart, 2014 ). Evidence for the nasal initial is given inSagart (1999) :
杻 (“handcuffs”) can be written as杽 , so丑 (OC *ᵇhnruʔ ) (with a nasal initial) and手 seem to be interchangeable as phonetics.The ancient graph丑 resembles the graph of又 (“right hand”).狃 (OC *ᵇnruʔ , “animal track; claw”) seems to be the modern specialized form of丑 , which has been borrowed to represent anearthly branch . As done bySagart (1999) ,Baxter and Sagart (2014) put杻 (OC *n̥<r>uʔ , “handcuffs”) and狃 (OC *Cə.n<r>uʔ , “animal track; claw”) into the same word family as手 (OC *n̥uʔ ).Zhengzhang (1995) suggests a connection to theညှိုး ( hnyui: ) inBurmese လက်ညှိုး ( lakhnyui: ,“ forefinger ” ) , which STEDT derives fromProto-Sino-Tibetan *s-njuŋ ~ *s-m-juŋ ~ *s-m-juw ( “ finger ” ) . SeeProto-Sino-Tibetan *C-njuʔ ( “ finger ” ) for more.
Alternatively,Schuessler (2007) suggests a tone Bendoactive derivation from收 (OC *nhiu? , “to take; to gather”), literally “that which is doing the taking”.
