Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *kleːwʔ, *kljewɢ, *ɡreːɡ): semantic 糸 (“silk”) + phonetic 敫 (OC *kleːwɢs, *ɢlewɢ, *kleːwɢ) – raw silk thread.

Probably related to Proto-Tibeto-Burman *kyak (“navel, umbilical cord, rope”), the latter whence Burmese ချက် (hkyak, “navel”), particularly based on the pronunciation for the "arrow string" sense (STEDT).

     From: Mencius, c. 4^th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

     Yī rén suī tīng zhī, yī xīn yǐ wèi yǒu hónghú jiāng zhì, sī yuán gōng zhuó ér shè zhī, suī yǔ zhī jù xué, fú ruò zhī yǐ. [Pinyin]

     The other, although he seems to be listening to him, has his whole mind running on a swan which he thinks is approaching, and wishes to bend his bow, adjust the string to the arrow, and shoot it. Although he is learning along with the other, he does not come up to him.

繳

1. (Hokkien, Hakka) gambling, bet

• In Hokkien, both 繳 / 缴 and 筊 (TRC) are phonetic (and/or partially semantic) loans.^[1][2]
• The Taiwanese–Japanese Dictionary (1931) uses the semantic loan 賭 / 赌 (kiáu) and argues that 攪 / 搅 (kiáu) might be its etymon.^[3]
• 繳 / 缴 can collocate with the verb 跋 (poa̍h) in Hokkien and with the verb 賭 / 赌 (tú) in Hakka. The two verbs can also be used independently, meaning "to gamble".
