Comments:The character is attested in Zhou inscriptions, but text examples are very late (and the MC reading jö́ stems from Jiyun; Guangyun has an aberrant reading ʔлj).

Comments:The character occurs already in Shijing, but only as a loan for 孥 *nā q.v. During Late Zhou it occurs as a loan for a homonymous word *nā 'tail'; the meaning 'store, treasury', which must be original (judging from the graph) is attested only since Han.
