Pictogram (象形): a sharp peg — original form of 杙 (OC *lɯɡ, “peg”). Same as 才 and 尗.

Etymology

Traditionally connected to Proto-Tibeto-Burman *kyak (“navel, umbilical cord, rope”), the latter whence Burmese ချက် (hkyak, “navel”); however, the Old Chinese reconstructions make this problematic. Perhaps related to 射 (OC *ɢljaːɡs, *laːɡs, *ɢljaːɡ, *laːɡ, “to shoot”) (STEDT).

     积五、六年，单于弟於靬王弋射海上。武能网纺缴，檠弓弩，於靬王爱之，给其衣食。 [Traditional Chinese poetry, simp.]

     From: The Book of Han, circa 1^st century CE

     Jī wǔ, liù nián, Chányú dì Yújiānwáng yìshè hǎishàng. Wǔ néng wǎng fǎng zhuó, qíng gōngnǔ, Yújiānwáng ài zhī, jǐ qí yīshí. [Pinyin]

     Five or six years passed when Chanyu's younger brother, the Yujian king, came to the shores of Lake Baikal with his bow and retrievable arrows on a shooting expedition. Because Su Wu was good at fashioning nets, twisting cords for stringed arrows, and straightening bows and crossbows, he won favor with the Yujian king, who supplied him with food and clothing.

3. (archaic) to shoot such arrows with bow
4. (archaic) to catch
5. a surname
