Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – a footprint pointing up, originally meaning "foot"; stylized as 龰. The derivative 趾 (OC *kjɯʔ) refers to the original meaning. Compare 手 (“hand”). Note that in oracle script, composed of 3 toes and a sole. Compare to 夊, 夂, which have similar shape in oracle script, but pointing down (toe pointing right), and 𡕒 (as in right side of 舛, roughly ヰ, toe pointing left), hence different evolution. Compare to 丑, which is the pictogram of an animal claw. Eventually, note that the foot is represented with three toes, like the human hand in the characters 爪, 寸, 九, 又, and 彐.
