Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *laːɡ): semantic 糸 (“silk”) + phonetic 睪 (OC *neb, *laːɡ, *kuː).

Etymology

Same word as 驛 (OC *laːɡ, “posthorse; relay station”), 譯 (OC *laːɡ, “to translate”), 懌 (OC *laːɡ, “relaxed; pleased”), 斁 (OC *laːɡ, “to be tired of”) (Schuessler, 2007). Also related to 釋 (OC *hljaɡ, “to set free; to explain”), 赦 (OC *hljaɡs, “to let go; to pardon”) (Schuessler, 2007). This word family may be related to Burmese လျက် (lyak, “while; although”) (Luce, 1981).
