Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声) : semantic (hair) + phonetic (OC *ɡaː).

Etymology

From (OC *ɡaː, “wattle; dewlap of an animal”), i.e. “that which hangs down from the chin” (Wang, 1980).

STEDT proposes that this word comes from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-wu (beard), but there are phonological problems with this reconstruction.
