English meaning : to rest
Russian meaning[s]: 1) дышать; дыхание; перевести дух; отдыхать; отдых; 2) прекратить(ся); остановить(ся); перестать; погасить; погаснуть (об огне); 3) утихомирить, успокоить; уладить (инцидент); 4) прибавление, наращение; 5) дети; потомство; 6) проценты на капитал; 7) новость, известие; 8) счетный суффикс для мыслей
Shuowen gloss: 喘也.從心自. [502]
Comments: The original and more common now meaning is 'to breathe'; but during Early Zhou the word is attested only with the meaning 'to rest'. In Shi 9,1 息 is obviously a miswriting of 思 (*sǝ, as a final particle) under the influence of the preceding character 休 'to rest'.

The semantic correlation 'blood': 'health, healthy' is rather usual, thus the TM form belongs here with great probability. Kor. has a usual verbal low tone.
