Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (款) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
款 *kʰloːnʔ
欵 *kʰloːnʔ
歀 *kʰloːnʔ
窾 *kʰloːnʔ

Originally 歀 (kuài), phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) : phonetic 柰 (OC *naːds) + semantic 欠 (“lacking, desire”), meaning desire. The 木 component was simplified into 士 via libian, similar to 隸→隷 .[1]

Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *kʰloːnʔ) : abbreviated phonetic 窾 (OC *kʰloːnʔ) + semantic 欠 (“lacking, desire”).
