Amazing Chinese Characters (607) Skeleton - 豖

 The shell bone script of character Skeleton is

One dot on the left and one 

which is shell bone script of character Pig (Post 111).

All most all dictionary explain the original meaning of the character to be the Pig Leg Bone, the dot indicates the lower part of the pig. I disagree. I think the meaning of the character to be the bones of the pig body, not specific which bone. Therefore, it means Skeleton.

There is a 豕 skeleton, and an Eye outline across the skeleton.

The top horizontal line is the pig head, the left three falling down lines + the middle curved left line are four legs, and the right curved down line is the tail. 

However, it looks like a pig's legs tied,  it really means the bones, the all bones of the pig.
