Etymology

Pictogram (象形) – a small stool viewed from the side. The original version was 𠀃, in which the horizontal stroke at the bottom represents the floor and/or the ground. See also the bottom component of 其, 真, and 典, in which 八 is the stylization of the legs of a table. Unrelated to 鉛, in which the top component is a stylization of 八, representing stagnant water. Also unrelated to 朵, 凡, and 殳. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *krəj (“foot, leg; stool”). Compare Tibetan ཁྲི (khri) and Burmese ခြေ (hkre).
