<WL>牦(F氂) [máo] 牦牛 máoniú yak
+
<WL>牦(F氂) [máo] (牛名) 牦牛 máoniú yak (犛牛; cf. 偏/犏牛)@@; (HDZ:) …  [lí] cf. 氂
−
From 牛 (niú) ‘ox’ or 𠩺 and 毛 máo phonetic.
+
The Shuōwén Seal form of 氂(􀌷) máo ‘yak tail’ combines 毛(􁜏) máo ‘hair’ and 犛(􀌶) máo ‘yak’ (abbrev. phonetic).
−
Formerly also pronounced lí. There seems to be some confusion involved. The old word for yak was 犛 lí, from 𠩺 lí phonetic and 牛 ox, signific. Whether 氂, read lí, was just a variant way of writing 犛 — in which case 毛 “hair” would be signific — or 毛 máo was added as a phonetic for the word máo as in máoniú “yak” — in which case 𠩺 would be short for 犛 signific — I don’t know. Wieger (page 627) lists a character like 氂 but without 厂, pronounced lí, meaning “tail of a yak”.
+
The modern form 牦 seems to be an abbrev. of 犛 (omitting 𠩺 entirely, which had lost its phonetic value), and adding combining 毛 máo (as in 氂) to replace the phonetic (now phonosemantic). Yak fiber/wool had many traditional uses, and it seems that the animal and its derived products were conflated in trade with people who never saw the animals, but only the tails/wool/rope/etc.
−
《李氏中文字典》 (page 299) marks the pronunciation 氂 lí “舊主”, and the pronunciation 氂 máo “新只”, which if I understand correctly means, in old times lí was the main pronunciation but now máo is the only pronunciation.
+
Compare: 犛(􀌶) máo/lí ‘long-haired (long-tailed) yak’; 㲠 lí ‘tail of a yak’ (Wieger, p. 627).
 +
Compare: 氂 lí “舊主”, 氂 máo “新只” (《李氏中文字典》, p. 299).
 +
Compare: MC 氂 /lji/ (061.54) ‘hair; small, fine’, /mɑu/ (156.12) ‘pennon of ox-tails; ox-tail’ (SBGY; glossed here as in GSR; cf. 旄).
