Comments: This is the original meaning of the character, which later came to be rendered by the graph 跼. Starting with Han the character 局 was used for a homonymous word *gok 'action, circumstance; meeting, party, office' (for *g cf. Xiamen kik⁸, Chaozhou kek⁸, Fuzhou kuok⁸). Cf. also Viet. gục 'to bend down'.
