===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
Generally thought to be an {{Han compound|木|攴|ls=ic|t1=tree; wood|t2=hand holding a stick|nocap=1}}.

However, {{zh-ref|Zhengzhang (2003)}} considers it to be a {{Han compound|木|文|ls=psc|c1=s|c2=p|t1=wood|nocap=1}}, where {{zh-l|*文}} was later corrupted to {{zh-l|*攴}}.

===Etymology 1===
From {{der|zh|aav}}; compare {{cog|okz|mek||branch; bough}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}). Note also similarities to {{cog|my|မဲ|t=vote, ballot, lot}}.
