JLPT2 G3 S12 F1138

The relevant bronzeware inscription form is an element combining 東 (pierced sack) and 土 earth (suggesting the same idea found in 重 of weight thrusting heavily down upon the earth) + another element combining a needle and an eye → run through a slave-child's eye with a needle (compare 民, 敃 and 僕) → *child* (← child servant ← servant ← slave). The present form amalgamates the top two elements into 立 and the bottom two into 里.
