Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *r'eːwɢs) : semantic 木 + phonetic 翟 (OC *r'aːwɢ, *l'eːwɢ).

Possibly from Austroasiatic. Compare Vietnamese *tʃ-r-ɛːw (whence Vietnamese chèo), an *-r- (instrumental derivative) infixed form of Vietnamese *tʃɛːw, whence Modern Vietnamese xeo (“to lift up with a crowbar; to propel (a boat) with a long pole”).
