Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 , OC *ɡʷɯs ) : semantic 雈 ( “ owl ” ) + phonetic 臼 ( OC *ɡuʔ) .
Originally refers to a type of owl; later borrowed for a homophonous word meaning "old." The upper portion frequently appears as 萑 (a type of grass).
Etymology 1 [ edit ]
Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)əw-n ( “ elder brother; senior male relative ” ) , which is also compared to 舅 (OC *ɡuʔ , “maternal uncle”), 昆 (OC *kuːn , “elder brother”) (Sagart, 1999 ; STEDT).
Baxter and Sagart (2014) compares it to 久 (OC *[k]ʷəʔ ). See there for more.
