Pictogram (象形 しょうけい ) – a kind of agricultural tool used for tilling the fields and removing weeds (Guo, 1931 ; Qiu, 1992 ), possibly made of a kind of large clam 蜃 (OC *djɯns, *djɯnʔ, *djins ) (Guo, 1931 ).
Alternatively, it could be a pictogram (象形 しょうけい ) of a person holding onto a cliff – original character of 振 ふ (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns , “to hold up”) (Shang, 1983 ).
“to vibrate”
Related to 震 ふるえ (OC *tjɯn , “to shake”) and 振 ふ (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns , “to excite”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dar ~ d(u/i)r ( “ to tremble; to shiver ” ) (Schuessler, 2007 ).
“fifth earthly branch”
Norman (1985) suggests that it is from Austroasiatic ; compare Proto-Austroasiatic *tlan ( “ python ” ) , whence Vietnamese trăn , Khmer ថ្លាន់ ( thlan ) , Mon ကၠန် ( klɔn ) . However, Ferlus (2013) points to reconstructions like *dər (Baxter & Sagart) and *ᴸdzɨr (Ferlus) and remarks that those do not match any animal's name in Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) languages. Therefore, 辰 たつ might have been associated arbitrarily with the dragon (龍 りゅう ).
Smith (2011) agrees with the proposal (e.g. by Guo, 1931 ) that 辰 たつ (OC dən ) initially depicted an agricultural implement made from clams' shells and was the original form of 蜃 (OC dəns , “mollusc, clam”); so he proposes that the fifth earthly branch depicted the moon's second waning-gibbous phase, which looks like a clam. He also suggests that 辰 たつ (chén ) also represented the ovoid-shaped rising sun and is thus related to 晨 (chén , “early morning”).
“time”
From 時 とき (OC *djɯ , “time”) + nominalizing suffix -n , literally “that which is proceeding” (Schuessler, 2007 ). This word partially converges with 晨 (OC *djɯn, *ɦljɯn , “morning”) (ibid. ).
“heavenly body”
The endopassive of 振 ふ (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns , “to shake; to stir”), literally “to stir oneself”, i.e. “when life begins to stir” > “heavenly bodies that mark time” (ibid. ).
