The past tense of ‘to go’ is ‘went’, but this form used to belong to the verb ‘to wend’.
We call such verbs suppletive.
Surprisingly, ‘to bring’ is suppletive too: ‘brought’ comes from a different verb.

"Picture of a scene" is imo the best way to interpret characters like
化 (2 human bodies in diff directions: change)
尾 (hair at the posterior: tail)
漁 (fish outside water: fishing)
neither part is a determiner or classifier

... is a picture of a scene, which has become resolved into two distinct parts in later forms of the graph. Neither the 人 nor the 木 is a classifier. What I mean by that is that 'resting' is not a type of tree or a thing made of wood; nor is 'resting' a kind of person.
