Glyph origin

Ideogrammic compound (會意会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ɡʷɯːŋ) : phonetic (OC *kʷɯŋ, bow) + semantic (mouth) – the sound of a bow > a loud sound.

The later corrupts into (the ancient form of (OC *kʷɯːŋ)), which Shuowen interprets to be the phonetic component of the character.
