Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (臼) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
臼 *ɡuʔ
齨 *ɡuʔ
桕 *ɡuʔ
舅 *ɡuʔ
舊 *ɡʷɯs
匶 *ɡʷɯs
閰 *kuɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɡuʔ) : phonetic 臼 (OC *ɡuʔ) + semantic 男 (“male; man”).

Etymology

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