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／形声, OC *ɡʷɯs) : semantic 雈 (“owl”) + phonetic 臼 (OC *ɡuʔ).

Originally refers to a type of owl; later borrowed for a homophonous word meaning "old." The upper portion frequently appears as 萑 (a type of grass).

Etymology 1

edit

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)əw-n (“elder brother; senior male relative”), which is also compared to 舅 (OC *ɡuʔ, “maternal uncle”), 昆 (OC *kuːn, “elder brother”) (Sagart, 1999; STEDT).

Baxter and Sagart (2014) compares it to 久 (OC *[k]ʷəʔ). See there for more.
