本文结合《花东》103版5、6辞中“亡后”一语的释读,对古后字形、音、义演化轨迹进行了讨论。认为后、司乃一字之分化,读为齿头音的“司”较为晚出,《花东》103版原释文中的“司”应该改释为“后”,在辞中读若前後之“後”。
When we explained the word "亡后" of the fifth and the sixth sentence on the 103 shell from Oracle tortoise shells and Bones excavated in the locus East of Huayuanzhuang, we talked about the development of 后' s character, pronunciation and meaning. We recognized that 后 and 司 came from the same origin, the latter one appeared more lately than the former, and its pronunciation are about tooth. We should change the old explanation of 司 to "后", use it as "後" .
