genesis, wound, injury, hurt, start, originate
創 centers on the act of bringing something into being, whether starting a new thing or inflicting a break in the body. The meanings split into two main clusters: creating/originating and wounding/hurting, connected by the idea of a sharp, initiating action.
創 combines 刂 (knife) with 倉, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a storehouse or container. The knife suggests cutting or initiating, giving rise to both wounding and starting something new.
A knife 刂 beside a storehouse 倉: imagine using a knife to cut open a new storehouse, starting a new venture, or accidentally cutting yourself and getting a wound.
For ソウ, picture a saw cutting into a storehouse to start a new project: saw -> ソウ, and the knife 刂 does the cutting.
