Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (奇) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
奇 *kral, *ɡral
畸 *kral
剞 *kral, *kralʔ
羇 *kral
掎 *kral, *kralʔ, *kʰrals
攲 *kral, *kralʔ, *kʰral
躸 *kral
踦 *kralʔ, *kʰral
寄 *krals
徛 *krals, *ɡralʔ
欹 *kʰral, *qral
崎 *kʰral, *ɡɯl
觭 *kʰral, *kʰralʔ
碕 *kʰral, *kʰralʔ, *ɡral, *ɡɯl
綺 *kʰralʔ
婍 *kʰralʔ
騎 *ɡral, *ɡrals
琦 *ɡral
鵸 *ɡral
錡 *ɡral, *ɡralʔ, *ŋɡralʔ
輢 *ɡrals, *qralʔ, *qrals
齮 *ŋɡralʔ
犄 *qral
猗 *qral, *qralʔ
椅 *qral, *qralʔ
旖 *qral, *qralʔ
陭 *qral, *qrals
檹 *qral
漪 *qral
倚 *qralʔ, *qrals

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *krals): semantic 宀 (“house”) + phonetic 奇 (OC *kral, *ɡral) ― living away from home.

Etymology[edit]

"to commit to one's charge" (Lunyu), "to entrust, communicate" (Liji), > "send (a letter)"
Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Burmese ခိုက် (hkuik, “bring”) & Mizo khai (“to give, to present”)
"translator, interpreter" > "an alternate name used for the Dongyi tribes during the Ming Dynasty"
Behr (2004) proposes that 寄 (OC *krals) and its variant 羈 (OC *kral) (used by Gao You when annotating Lüshi Chunqiu) both transcribed an underlying foreign word.
