The Shuōwén Seal form of 可 kě ‘can/may (approve/allow)’ combines 口 (kǒu) ‘mouth’, and 丂 qiǎo ‘exclamation’ (phonosemantic): 可以 kěyǐ ‘OK!’.
Compare: 肯(𦘫𠕔) kěn ‘willing; approve; definitely’, which glosses 可 kě in SW; 堪 kān ‘can/may’.
Compare: 叵 pǒ ‘impossible’, contraction of 不可 bùkě, which is 可 kě ‘possible’ (reversed). formerly also wr. 可 (HDZ).
