Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *maːw, *maːws): semantic 㫃 + phonetic 毛 (OC *maːw, *maːws) Li Shizhen relates 旄 (máo, “banner”) to pronunciation máo of 牦／犛 (“yak”); he also sees a possible connection of both to 毛 (máo, “hair”) (Bencao Gangmu, 51A) However, see 犛／牦 (máo) for alternative etymology.
