狀貌(上狀字從犬爿聲韻英云狀形貌也說文從犬爿聲下茅豹反尚書五事一曰貌孔注容儀也廣雅見也說文從貌象人面下從人象形字也籀文從豸作貌古字也或作貌從頁從豹省籀音宙豸音雉也)。

Appearance and visage (狀貌: the first character, 狀, is formed from dog [犬] with 爿 phonetic. The Yunying says: “狀 means shape and appearance.” The Shuowen says it is formed from dog [犬] with 爿 phonetic. The second character, mao [茅] + bao [豹] fan. The Shangshu's Five Affairs says: “The first is called appearance (貌).” Kong's commentary says: “Comportment.” The Guangya says: “Visible.” The Shuowen says: “Formed from 貌, depicting a human face, with human [人] below; a pictographic character.” The Zhou script writes it from beast [豸] as 貌, an ancient character; it is also written as 貌, formed from head [頁] with an abbreviated 豹. Zhou has the sound zhou [宙]; 豸 has the sound zhi [雉]).
