Non-numerical month names are poorly understood in the oracle bone inscriptions and there are no other occurrences of this term elsewhere. The divination utter- ance creates time constraints, from the sixth day of the current month until the following month, and this leads me to suggest that ), which is the ancestral form of chou 疇 (定- initial 幽-rime) “a bank between fields > to separate from”, refers to time. 278 This word also occurs in a divination account about Qiang captives on 215.1. 188 | HYZ 161
