{{Han compound|行|圭|c1=s|c2=p|ls=psc}}.

Originally, the phonetic component is not related to the concept of earth ([[土]]) since in its original form it represents a pair of ritual axes perhaps made of jade [[士]]. Hence, the link to the concept of earth in this character and [[厓]] either comes from folk etymology or its appearence in the Small Seal script.

===Etymology===
