Wu is composed of 牛 niu an ox (line 77) as radical, and 勿 wu not (line 126), as phonetic. It means anything alive or dead other than man. [The Shuo Wên says that ox appears in the composition of thing because the ox is a very big thing; but the association is obviously that of ox with chattel in English. It is worth noting that ox also appears in 件 chien the numerative of things. This is explained by the Shuo Wên as to divide, because an ox is a big thing which can be divided (precisely the same analysis being given of 半 pan half), by the aid of which we can faintly discern the sense of distribution, distributive, etc.]
