《汉字解码学》30  “数”是古人计数的标识方法。“数”字的右侧是指数的贯、串，下是计数使用的“爻”（后人誤写为女字了），左侧是一只手拿有计数器具。

数 数是会意字。攴为形符，象以手拨弄箕筹之形。《说文》注：“计也。从攴，娄声。”数即计算，点数。引申一一列举，类比。借指责备，列举过错。作名词，指数学、代数、算数、数码等。

30 "number" is the ancient count of the identification method. "Number" on the right side of the index is consistent, string, the next count is the use of "Yao" (later mistakenly written for the female word), the left is a hand holding a counting device.

Numbers are knowing the word.攴 for the character, like the hand to make the shape of Kei. "Said the text" Note: "count also from the 攴, Lou sound." The number is calculated, points. Extended enumeration, analogy. By blame, list fault. As a noun, index, algebra, arithmetic, digital and so on.
