## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 賽 :
| Warring States | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Chu slip and silk script | Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
| | Old Chinese |
| 賽 | *slɯːɡs |
| 塞 | *slɯːɡs, *slɯːɡ |
| 簺 | *slɯːɡs |
| 僿 | *hljɯɡs |
| 寨 | *zraːds, *slɯːɡ |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *slɯːɡs): abbreviated phonetic 塞 (OC *slɯːɡs, *slɯːɡ) + semantic 貝 (“shell”).

### Etymology

* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Was this common in Classical Chinese, and if not, where did it come from? The apparent rarity in Sino-Xenic is a bit puzzling if it was common since OC.”
