Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *klaʔ): phonetic 與 (OC *la, *laʔ, *las) + semantic 手 (“hand”) as 擧／举. The 手 (shǒu) component became 𰀁. Related to 奉.

### Etymology
#### lift

    May be cognate with Tibetan འཁྱོག་པ ('khyog pa, “to lift; to bring; to carry”), Tibetan སྐྱ་བ (skya ba, “to carry; to convey”) (Schuessler, 2007). Alternatively, it may be related to 舁 (OC *la, “to lift”) as a *k- prefixed verb (Baxter and Sagart, 1998).

#### all, whole, entire

    Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ka (“all”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007)

#### to pawn

    The counter of the pawnbroker is usually at a high position. Therefore, customers must lift the object to be pawned at a pawn shop.
