Story

A month is longer than a day.

Am I the only one who sees this as someone sticking their ass in the air “mooning” someone (two cheeks of the butt and the legs coming off of it)? The Moon meaning connects well to the meaning of month, considering that months were traditionally measured by the phases of the moon. Also, the mooning “ass” part of it connects well to Hesig’s seemingly unconnected “flesh” or “part of the body” meaning (when used in primitive form).

Primitive

As a primitive element, this character can take on the sense of moon, flesh, or part of the body. The reasons for the latter two meanings will be explained further on.
