Where the shape comes from

A standing figure with one leg bent under it, the traditional picture of lameness — a body still upright but favoring one side. Very few common characters carry it today; it survives mainly as a dictionary classifier for a handful of rare words describing infirmity or a crooked stance, its everyday work in the modern language long since taken over by other, unrelated characters that merely resemble it.
