Originally written as畮, aphono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*mɯʔ): semantic 田(“field”) + phonetic 每(OC*mɯːʔ). The phonetic component每 was later replaced with又, now written as the new phonetic component久 (OC*kʷlɯʔ). The component十 was added above田 in the Warring States period and was later corrupted into亠 in clerical script.
PossiblySino-Tibetan. CompareTibetanརྨོ(rmo),རྨོས(rmos,“to plow”),རྨོད(rmod,“plowing”),རྨོན་པ(rmon pa,“plow-ox”),Karbi[Term?](-mò,“classifier for strips of fields”) (Bodman, 1980;Baxter, 1992;Schuessler, 2007).
Schuessler (2007) also suggests a connection to anAustroasiatic root, whenceOld Khmercval(“to enter; to penetrate; (of animals) to copulate”),Khmu[script needed](cmɔɔl,“to plant (rice) with a digging stick”),[script needed](crmɔɔl,“digging stick”) (cf.Ferlus, 1987). The semantic development would be “digging stick” > “plowing” > “mu”. He also connects this to牡 (OC*mɯwʔ, “male animal”); see there for more.
