| | Old Chinese |
| 臼 | *ɡuʔ |
| 齨 | *ɡuʔ |
| 桕 | *ɡuʔ |
| 舅 | *ɡuʔ |
| 舊 | *ɡʷɯs |
| 匶 | *ɡʷɯs |
| 閰 | *kuɡ |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡuʔ): phonetic 臼 (OC *ɡuʔ) + semantic 男 (“male; man”).

### Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kuʔ (“elder brother; senior male relative”); compare Tibetan ཨ་ཁུ (a khu), ཁུ་བོ (khu bo, “father's brother”), Burmese အစ်ကို (ackui, “elder brother”) (Sagart, 2017d; STEDT). Possibly related to 舊 (OC *ɡʷɯs, “old; ancient”), 昆 (OC *kuːn, “elder brother”) (Sagart, 1999; STEDT); see there for more.
