甫

• Temporal inception: "to begin," "just," or "at the start of."
• Personhood: A grown man or an adult male of standing.

// Measurement: A specific distance of ten //li*.

• Qualitative: "Great" or "large."

• Adverbial use for inception, functioning similarly to 始.
• Honorific suffix attached to personal names (similar in function to 子).

While some dictionaries list "father," this is generally secondary to 父; in early texts, the sense typically refers to an adult male or senior.

The standard reading is //fǔ//. A Tang-period reading (//biǒ//) exists, though it is likely limited to proper names or specific dialectal contexts and does not expand the primary semantic range.
