“犅”把“牛”写在下面,把声符“冈”写在上面。“冈”的上半是“网”,一个带交画的方框,下垂的那道长笔是框外的一边。卜辞里的“犅”是祭祀用的公牛,常常还要写明毛色,如“白犅”。这个字在甲骨里出现得晚,几乎都在最末一期的黄组卜辞上,所以笔画方正、结构定得很稳。《说文》说“犅,特牛也。从牛,冈声”,“特”就是一头公牛。
「犅」把「牛」寫在下面,把聲符「岡」寫在上面。「岡」的上半是「网」,一個帶交畫的方框,下垂的那道長筆是框外的一邊。卜辭裡的「犅」是祭祀用的公牛,常常還要寫明毛色,如「白犅」。這個字在甲骨裡出現得晚,幾乎都在最末一期的黃組卜辭上,所以筆畫方正、結構定得很穩。《說文》說「犅,特牛也。从牛,岡聲」,「特」就是一頭公牛。
犅 sets 牛 below and the sound-carrying 岡 above. The upper half of 岡 is 网, a square frame with a stroke crossing its inside, and the long stroke falling on the right is the outer side of that frame. On the bones 犅 is a bull kept for sacrifice, often with its colour named as well, as in 白犅, a white bull. The character appears late: nearly every example belongs to the last period, the 黃組 divinations, which is why its strokes are square and its layout so steady. 說文 glosses it “犅, a 特牛; 牛 with 岡 for the sound”, 特 being a single bull.
