Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ʔseʔ): semantic 口 + phonetic 觜 (OC *ʔse, *ʔse, *ʔseʔ). Related to 觜 (OC *ʔse, *ʔse, *ʔseʔ, “horn-like hair on the owl-head; beak of a bird; mouth”). Further etymology is unknown. Schuessler (2007) relates it to Tibetan མཚུལ་པ (mtshul pa, “lower part of the face; muzzle; beak”), which is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-ts(j)ul (“lip; beak”) (STEDT).
