𠂉形the stroke above — a hairpin or a sprout, by the telling
A kneeling mother (母) with one stroke (𠂉) rising from her head. The old graph carries two tellings: a pin set through dressed hair, or grass growing up thick over the soil — both pictures of flourishing. "Every" borrowed the graph whole and kept it: 每天、每個.

她（母）跪坐鏡前，簪子（𠂉）插進髮髻——天天早上，同一個動作。
She (母) kneels at the mirror; the pin (𠂉) slides into her hair — every morning, the same motion.
