Possibly a ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 爪(“hand”) + 凡(“plate”) + 又(“hand”) – to hand over.
凡 in the middle was corrupted into舟 (OC*tjɯw), which acted as a phonetic component. Alternatively, the character may have always been aphono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*tuːs, *djuʔ): semantic 爪(“hand”) + phonetic 舟(OC*tjɯw,“boat”) + semantic 又(“hand”). The凡 or舟 has been simplified to冖 since the seal script.
