About
The character 仅 is the simplified form of 僅, a phono-semantic compound composed of the semantic component 亻 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 堇 on the right. Its core meaning conveys restriction, translating to “only,” “merely,” or “barely.” In the simplified version, the phonetic element 堇 is replaced by 又, a component originally meaning “again” or “right hand,” serving as a structural abbreviation without altering the established meaning of limitation.
