| Characters in the same phonetic series (才) (Zhengzhang, 2003) | |
|---|---|
| Old Chinese | |
| 茬 | *zraː, *zraːʔ, *ʔsrɯ, *zrɯ |
| 材 | *zlɯː |
| 才 | *zlɯː, *zlɯːs |
| 財 | *zlɯː |
| 鼒 | *zlɯː, *ʔslɯ |
| 在 | *zlɯːʔ, *zlɯːs |
| 豺 | *zrɯː |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *zlɯːʔ, *zlɯːs) : phonetic 才 (OC *zlɯː, *zlɯːs) + semantic 土 (“earth”).
在 was visually identical with 才 (OC *zlɯː, *zlɯːs, “sprout”) in the oracle bone script and some of the bronze inscriptions. It may be either a phonetic loan or a figurative derivative.
Etymology
Probably related to 栽 (OC *ʔslɯː, “to plant”) (Schuessler, 2007).
