R. 162. c'ho, tak, “walk.”

From R. 60 and it R. 77.-Lscw. An example of Hwei yi "suggestion." The ideas motion and standing still suggest that of now moving and then stopping, which is the accepted sense. But Lsk says it means "walk fast along the road." The sound t'ak, says Kwy, is inherent in the lower part chi, "to stop."

The ordinary contracted form was first used in the Li shu. The coincidence with tseu 2, tok R. 156, "walk," and tak, "walk," in sense and sound, is striking. Native authors who saw in the upper part of the character only a pictorial symbol, would, if they had known of this coincidence, have admitted a phonetic element also. R. 163. yi 4, ip, "city," "place where men live together." In compounds it takes the form B and stands on the right. As a phonetic 372.

Proof of final k. 1. Phonetic use in Kwy with kieu "a mortar," above, in place of the usual heading, sound sak, t'ak. Yet since kieu is also tak, this proof is insecure. 2.
