In the oracle bone script, it was originally 𠀠, a pictogram (象形) of a basket.
In the bronze inscriptions, 丌 was added under the basket to represent a stand. It may also have acted as a phonetic component. Hence, the modified version was 𠔝. See also the bottom component of 眞.
Later borrowed for an Old Chinese pronoun. The derivative 箕 (OC *kɯ) refers to the original word.

### Etymology
#### third-person possessive pronoun

    Schuessler (2007) notes its origin is not certain because in the linguistic area pronouns tend to be of the shape KV (K=velar stop; V=vowel). Perhaps Sino-Tibetan; compare Mizo khi (“that”), Tibetan -ཀྱི, -གྱི (-kyi, -gyi, genitive suffix), but a Tibeto-Burman /a/ should be expected in this set. Alternatively, Proto-Austroasiatic *ki/ke ~ *ku/ko (third person pronoun) whose earliest form is perhaps *kɨ (Pinnow, 1965) appears to be phonologically closest to the OC word. 其 (OC *ɡɯ) may be related to 渠 (OC *ɡa, “he”).

#### modal particle "should; probably"

    Probably cognate with 期 (OC *ɡɯ, “stipulated time; time”), 期 (OC *kɯ, “year”) (Serruys, 1982).
