就 *zuɡs
鷲 *zuɡs
殧 *zuɡs, *ʔsuɡ, *sʰuɡ
噈 *ʔsuɡ
蹴 *ʔsuɡ, *sʰuɡ

Originally 𫢁, ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 享 + 京, a temple and a tower – meaning "to sacrifice at a high place". During the Warring States period, 享 was omitted. In seal script, 尤 (“especially; even more”) is added to the right, signifying "high; to go to a higher place".

Cognate with 造 (OC *skʰuːɡs, “to proceed to”) (Wang, 1982).

Note: a6 - reduced form in colloquial speech.

Note: chiū - literary (“to approach, to undertake, to comply, with regard to”).

Note:

  • 6jieu (Shanghai) - Often considered a "New period" reading, more common in speakers experiencing the /ʑ/ > /dʑ/ shift;
  • 6jieu (Jiaxing, Haining) - literary reading;
  • 2jieu (Chongming) - literary reading.
