It can be found in a completely different place in modern abbreviation dictionaries. In the New Chinese-German Dictionary from the People's Republic of China, for example, it is in 108th position.
The character developed from the representation of a hand holding a stick, the symbol of paternal authority . Some Chinese experts admittedly believe that the original form of 父 was 斧 (= ax). Still others may not see a club in their father's hand, but a tool like an awl . 父, they believe, was originally a prisoner, and it was only later that the sign became a positive term for men, and finally for father too.
In compound characters, 父 creates the meaning field father, for example in 爹 (= father) or 爷 (= grandfather). As a sound carrier, 父 appears in the characters 斧 (= ax) and 釜 (= kettle). The latter consists of 父 and 金 (= metal), with the upper part of 金 merging with the lower part of 父.
