Glyph origin

[edit]
Characters in the same phonetic series (𢦏) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
𢦏 *ʔslɯː
栽 *ʔslɯː, *zlɯːs
哉 *ʔslɯː
烖 *ʔslɯː
載 *ʔslɯːʔ, *ʔslɯːs, *zlɯːs
渽 *ʔsɯː
睵 *ʔsɯː, *sʰɯː
溨 *zɯː
裁 *zlɯː, *zlɯːs
酨 *l'ɯːs, *zlɯːs
蛓 *sʰles, *sʰɯs
胾 *ʔsrɯs

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *zlɯː, *zlɯːs) : semantic 衣 + phonetic 𢦏 (OC *ʔslɯː). However, the phonetic component has a reference to a blade and an arrow, hence to the concept of cutting (e.g., fabric).
