| 之 | 繞 |
| し > しん Jinmeiyō | にょう Hyōgaiji |
| Irregular | |
しん (shin) + 繞 (nyō, “kanji component that occupies the left and bottom”).
The meaning of しん (shin) is debated. Theories include:
- 之 is an ateji (当て字); the 15th century Ainōshō (『壒嚢鈔』) says that it is derived from 四繞 (shinyō, literally “four-nyō”) since 辶 is written with 4 strokes.[1]
- Kenji Emori (江守賢治) suggests that it is from 進 (shin), i.e. "the nyō of 進".[1]
- Euphonic sound change (音便) from 之 (shi) to 之 (shin).[2]
