Characters in the same phonetic series (号) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
饕 *l̥ʰaːw
號 *ɦlaːw, *ɦlaːws
号 *ɦlaːws
枵 *hraw
呺 *hraw
鴞 *ɦraw

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɦlaːw, *ɦlaːws) : phonetic 号 (OC *ɦlaːws) + 虎 (“tiger”).

Originally an ideogram (指事) of a tiger and a line representing its roar, hence exhaled air while roaring. Later forms added 口 (“mouth”) or 言 (“speech”) to emphasize the act of crying or calling. The original meaning was "to roar; to shout". 号 derives from 口 and the line 丂.

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)aw (“to call”) (Schuessler, 2007, STEDT). Compare Kinnauri ku, Anong go, and Burmese ခေါ် (hkau). The extension of the meaning ‘shout, call’ to ‘ask, request’ is parallel to 呼 (hū).

Pronunciation 1 is the exopassive derivation of pronunciation 2, literally "what is called".
