講下個「者」字

「者」出自「煮」或「蔗」,假借其意而來。因頂部的「耂」與「老」、「考」無關,有些寫法會在撇下多加一點,但這做法傳統上是沒有的。

//Pictogram (象形) – a bush with intertwined branches in a ritual vessel; precise sense unclear.[1] Phonetic loan (假借) for abstract meanings.

Top 耂 is unrelated to 老 and 考, thus in some forms (notably the form used in the Kangxi Dictionary) there is an added dot to distinguish 者 from these others, but this is not present traditionally.//
