Glyph origin edit

Historical forms of the character 臱
Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Characters in the same phonetic series (臱) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
臱	*men
矏	men, meːn
櫋	*men
籩	*mpeːn
邊	*mpeːn

Original form of 邊. In oracle bone inscriptions, phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *men) : semantic 自 (“since; from”) + phonetic 丙 (OC *pqraŋʔ). It's possible that 自 was also a sound component as the original form of 鼻 (OC *blids). In bronze inscriptions 方 (OC *paŋ, *baŋ, “side; direction”) was added as a semantic or phonetic component.

In the modern form, 丙 has corrupted into 穴. In the seal script form, 方 corrupted into 𠔽.
