1. WL claims that at the earliest stage zhu2 逐 refers to the pursuit of wild beasts. The reference, here, should be specifically to Jiaguwen, becasuse the one occurrence in the old part of SHU refers to human objects, and the word does not come in SHI. Moreover, in ZUO, what is pursued by way of animals is very little indeed: fish, dogs and the like, and very little of the bovines, boar, tigers and the like the prevail throughout Jiaguwen. This kind of discontinuity of usage is quite interesting.
