車(昌耶反說文輿輪之總名也夏后氏奚仲所作古音居古者車如居言行所以居人也今日居舍也言行者所處如舍之居象形字)。

Carriage (che): (chang + ye [chē]. The Shuowen says: "The collective name for carts and wheels. Made by Xi Zhong of the Xia Dynasty." Its ancient sound was ju [jū]. In antiquity, a carriage [che] was like a dwelling [ju]; it was said that in moving about it was that in which people dwelt. Nowadays it is ju-she [dwelling-house]; it means that where the traveler resides is like dwelling in a house. It is a pictographic character).
