## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Originally written as 椶, a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ʔsoːŋ) : semantic 木 (“wood”) + phonetic 㚇. The phonetic component was later replaced by 宗 (zōng).

### Etymology

Wang (1982) relates it to 總 (OC *ʔsloːŋʔ, “to collect”), 稯 (OC *ʔsoːŋ, “sheaf; bundle”), 鬃 (OC *ʔsoːŋ, “mane”).
