About
The character 簸 is a phono-semantic compound. Its bamboo radical 竹 at the top indicates the traditional material for winnowing tools, while the components 其 and 皮 below provide the phonetic element and additional semantic nuance. As a verb, it primarily means to winnow or toss grain to separate chaff, an action directly tied to using a bamboo basket. This sense extends to describe any rocking or jolting motion, like a boat pitching on waves or an object being shaken.
