(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 该:) The Shuōwén Seal form of 该/該() gāi ‘martial/military prohibitions/rules (of conduct/readiness/engagement)’ combines 讠/言 (yán) ‘direct speech’ (commands), and 亥() hài/jiē (phonosemantic); prohibitions/rules governing/enforcing discipline among the troops (what soldiers are allowed to do, what they should/not do).
Compare: 㱾() gāi ‘carved talisman (of jade/metal/peach-wood)’; 刻() kè ‘carve/engrave’.
Compare: 㤥() hài ‘worry/anxiety/distress’; 骇/駭() hài ‘skittish, (easily) startled horse’.
Compare: 该/該() gāi ← MC /kəi/; 戒(𢌵) jiè ‘prevent/guard/warn’ ← MC /keis/; 㤥() hài ← MC /ɣəis/ (SBGY).
