Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (舀) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
滔 *l̥ʰuː
韜 *l̥ʰuː
縚 *l̥ʰuː
謟 *l̥ʰuː
慆 *l̥ʰuː
幍 *l̥ʰuː
槄 *l̥ʰuː, *l̥ʰuːʔ
搯 *l̥ʰuː
瑫 *l̥ʰuː
稻 *l'uːʔ
蹈 *l'uːs
舀 *lowʔ, *lu, *lo

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *l'uːʔ) : semantic 禾 ‎(“grain, cereal, rice”) + phonetic 舀 ‎(OC *lowʔ, *lu, *lo).

Etymology

Area word (rice culture originated in the south). Often compared with Proto-Hmong-Mien *mbləu ‎(“rice plant/paddy”), whence White Hmong nplej.

The relationship with similar-looking Mon-Khmer words is ambiguous; compare Vietnamese lúa ‎(“paddy rice”).
