Nêng see line 34.
Kêng is composed of 耒 lei a plough-handle (itself composed of 木 mu wood and 丰 chieh rank weeds) as radical, with 井 ching a well as phonetic. It has been alleged that the latter is really a corruption of 田, in which case the whole character would be an ideogram.
T'ien is an obvious picture of fields laid out.
