Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ʔseb): semantic 扌 + phonetic 妾 (OC *sʰeb) – to receive (in the hand). From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tsjap (“to join, connect”). Related to 際 (OC *ʔsleds, “connection, border”), as well as to Burmese စပ် (cap, “to adjoin”) (STEDT). STEDT also adduces another family, with similar phonetics and semantics, which however does not appear to be related: * 揖 (OC *qib, “to cluster together, crowd”) * 輯 (OC *zib, “to gather up, fold up, be crowded together”) * 集 (OC *zub, “to collect, come together, unite, accomplish”) * 雜 (OC *zuːb, “variegated, mixed”)
