-Picture of a quiver containing an arrow. It was later re-interpreted as a mouth (tongue) with something in (on) it. Compare 含 hán ‘contain’, which might be the same word etymologically. The top stroke 乛 and component 了 relate to the 𢎘(㔾) component of 函 in Shuōwén.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 函(􁊱圅) hán ‘tongue (in the mouth)’ combines 乛/龴(􁊰𢎘) hàn ‘bud’ (phonosemantic) and a lower part which looks like 𢆉(􀗾) within 囗(􁃰) said to depict a ‘tongue’; a variant form 肣(􁊲) combines 月(􀬪𠕎肉) meat and 今(􀸵) jīn (phonetic).
+	Older graphs associated with 函 are thought to depict a quiver with arrow (箭筒/袋, cf. 箙, 韇, 䩮).
+	Compare: 含(􀍣) hán ‘contain’ (perhaps cognate); 医(􂎂) yì ‘(archery) quiver’; 晉(􁈡𣋤) jìn.
