trad. 麗 simp. 丽* alternative forms

Pictogram (象形) – a deer with antlers.

Schuessler (2007) minimally reconstructed this word’s OC pronunciation as *rêh and considered it a possible allofam of 麗 (OC *rê(k)h) “number” < “what is calculated”, exopassive derivative of 歷 (OC *rêk) “to calculate”.

麗 underwent this historical semantic shift: from “a pair” (Zhouli), to “mate, companion” (儷) (Zuo), to “paired”, to “well-proportioned” (Liji), and finally to “elegant, beautiful” (Chuci) as well as “refinement” (Shu).
