Etymology

[edit]

What is the etymology of this character? "Water" + "ten," "complete," or "perfect"? 24.93.170.200 07:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's radical and phonetic. Phonetic components don't always make sense, and you can't read character components as words. Cynewulf 16:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
