Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (夐) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
讂 *kʷeːns, *qʰʷeːns
矎 *qʰʷeːn, *qʰʷeŋs
夐 *qʰʷeːns, *qʰʷeŋs
瓊 *ɡʷeŋ

Perhaps a cave or yurt (穴) with an eye in the middle (目) and, at the bottom of the character, a hand holding a stick similar to 支. The original form is attested in the Showen Jiezi.

Perhaps linked to 奐, in which it could appear as a contraction at the top of the character.
