Left: thread 纟/糸, right: vertical 圣 (A hand 又 is vertically above the ground 土)

Originally the vertical threads at a loom, which resulted in "longitude", through which the weft threads pass. (latitude 纬)

幺	short thread	This radical appears like a part of “thread 糸” and is therefore understood as a “short thread”.
圣	vertical	Shows a hand 又 vertically above ground/earth 土. It has also the meaning "holy" from a hand over an object when blessing it.
