Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 犬 (“dog”) + 自 (“nose”), referring to the dog's strong sense of smell. Original form of 嗅 (OC *qʰlus, *qʰluŋs, “to smell”). Schuessler (2007) considers it to be cognate with 犨 (OC *kʰju, “sound of an ox breathing”) and connects it to Burmese ဟိုက် (huik, “to pant”). Also compare 朽 (OC *qʰluʔ, “to rot; to decay”) (Baxter and Sagart, 2014).
