旬

Historical forms of the character 旬
Shang	Western Zhou	Warring States	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Chu Slip and silk script	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *sɢʷin) : 螾 (“earthworm”) + 日 (“sun/day”).

The pictographic protoform of 螾 was borrowed to represent "period of days" in oracle bone script. In bronze inscriptions, the semantic component 日 (“sun/day”) was added to this character. The phonetic component was mixed with another common semantic component 勹 ("bow down") in Warring States period, hence the incorrect analysis in Shuowen Jiezi of this character as 勹 + 日.
