夊

Mnemonics

Mushroom + foot drag: Ideogrammic compound related to wheat 麦, original meaning was perhaps "to climb; to surpass," possibly in connection with the way an awn climbs onto fur and clothing to propagate. See 稜.

Originally 木 “tree” + 人 “person”. On bronze inscription, a dragging (foot)

夂

was added at the bottom of the character. Later, the two components on top were highly compressed and stylized, becoming a (mushroom)

圥

.

Can be analyzed as a man leaping over a tree or as a man, possibly with the name of the father of the Emperor Yao, who likes to dawdle in the shade of a tree, watching the mushrooms grow. （The father of Dì Yao was Dì Kù 帝嚳, also known as Gāoxīn Shì 高辛氏 or Qūn 夋）

Original form of “endure” 凌/リョウ and “burial mound” 陵/リョウ, as well as “twill” 綾/リン, the only character in the phonetic series that retains its original pronunciation.

しのぐ and すたれる are near antonyms: the former means to endure and the latter to go out of fashion.
Do not confuse with “pacing” 夋/シュン, which has consent 允 on top in place of mushroom 圥.

Hint : the "godown" is like a warehouse, it's on the docks and mostly in Asia. To make an image distinct from that of "warehouse" or "storehouse", etc, I picture the goods stored there, piled up on pallets really high, and thus they have to "godown" before they can be taken outside. The front of this godown is a "meeting of small gates", i.e. a row of gates through which goods come in and out. The mouth can be an opening somewhere in the back, or the top, where cranes lift down the goods. - fuaburisu

How to use:
牛 = the animal.
丑 = a zodiac sign, not the animal.
Even though both associate with the “ox,” 牛 is concrete, and 丑 is symbolic.

丑

•Chinese zodiac {丑 = Ox sign}

•Old direction system
{丑 = northeast-by-north direction}
•Stem–branch calendar combinations
