本系 (The first character: the Shuowen jiezi states that 本 is written from 木 [tree] and 一, just like a tree having roots. The second character has the fanqie 胡計 [hú + jì]. The Qieyun states: 'Lineage/continuation.' The Erya states: '糸 means to succeed/continue.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Derived from 糸 [silk] with [必-心] as phonetic.' 糸 is pronounced 覓 [mì]; [必-心] is pronounced 曳 [yè], meaning to draw out or extend).
