These forms are seen in bronze inscriptions:

  1. Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *djuʔ, *djus): semantic 耂 (“old”) + phonetic 𢏚 (OC *du).
  2. Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *djuʔ, *djus): semantic 耂 (“old”) + phonetic 𠷎 () (𦓃).
  3. Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *djuʔ, *djus): semantic 耂 (“old”) + phonetic 𠼡 ().

The current traditional glyph is from the composition #3, with 又 (yòu) becoming 寸 (cùn) (耂 + 𠾉).
