Comments: Another Early Zhou reading attested is *kǝrs (MC kɨ̀n, Mand. jìn) in the reduplication *kǝrs-kǝrs 'to be clear-sighted'. Already in L. Zhou the graph occurs with the meaning 'balance, to weigh, measure of weight'; it is not clear whether this meaning is in any way related to the original meaning 'axe'.
