Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɡɯːm, *ɡɯːmʔ) : phonetic 含 (OC *ɡɯːm) + semantic 頁 (“head”).

### Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gam (“jaw; chin; molar”) (STEDT).
Bodman (1980) considers it to be the endoactive of 含 (OC *ɡɯːm, “to hold in the mouth”), literally “the thing that holds something in the mouth”.
