The shell bone script of character Name is
The left is character Mouth (Post 16), and the right is character Evening (Post 52), which means that call somebody in the evening. 《象形字典》 - The Dictionary of Pictography explains "Parents call children to come home in the evening". Here "call" means calling names of children.
I agree but they may not only call children, may call other family members too.
The bronze script of the character is
The top is Evening, the bottom is Mouth.There is another bronze script for the character.
The top is Moon, the bottom is Mouth. Acutually, the character Evening is moon too but not very bright because it is moon of early evening. The Moon is late evening or around midnight, when it is very bright. The above one is to call family member in late evening.
The big seal script of the character is
Similar to the first bronze script.Very similar to clerical script.
