The Shuōwén Seal form of 歌(​􁞰) gē ‘sing/chant’ combines ​ qiàn ‘breathe/yawn (open the mouth wide)’, and ​(​􀴸) gē (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. ​(​􁞱), with ​ yán ‘direct speech’.
    Note: In SW ​(​􀴸) gē is the phonetic component of 歌(​􁞰) gē, and taken to be the earlier writing of gē ‘song’ (note that ​ combines ​ kǒu ‘mouth’ and ​ qiǎo ‘air/breath/sigh/exclamation’); ​ (glossed in SW as ​ ‘sound (tune)’) was borrowed for the homophone ​ (as in ​ gēge ‘brother’, ​ dàgē ‘big brother’), and ​ was added to specify the original meaning ‘song’; cf. ​.
    Compare: ​(​􀵇) xǐ ‘happy/enjoy’, formerly wr. ​(​􀵈), with ​ as in 歌 gē ‘chant/sing’.
