Divined on Bing: It should be sheep for Ancestress Ding. 1 530 The transcription of this graph follows ZSKY 2003, but the element on the right, which is the sound element, is actually zhou 肘 “elbow” and not gong 肱 “forearm” (Zhu Qixiang 2006: 1032). Yao Xuan’s commentary reads it you “offer”. In early script 肘 (abbreviated 寸) is used as a phonetic speller in shou 壽 “long life”. For this reason, I prepose to read this graph a vari- ant spelling of dao 禱 “pray”. 340 | HYZ 409
