About
The character 埏 uses the earth radical 土 on the left to connect it to land or soil, while the right component 延 provides the pronunciation. Its meaning varies with context and reading: one sense refers to mixing or kneading clay, an essential step in pottery making. The other primary definition denotes a boundary or the furthest limit of a territory, such as the edge of the earth, conceptually linking to the land represented by the radical.
