Historical forms of the character 舍
Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *hljaːʔ, *hljaːs) : phonetic 余 (OC *la) + semantic 口, which is a disambiguation glyph.

"to stop, to halt, to rest" > "resting place" > "lodging house"

Apparently shared with Proto-Kam-Sui [Term?] (*s-lwa^B); Proto-Chinese root must have been *s-lwas, identical to PKS, with OC *sl- > *lh- and MC 去聲／去声 (qùshēng) (from *-h < *-s) corresponding to KS tone B (Schuessler, 2007). Schuessler further relates 舍 (OC *lhah) to 説／说 (shuì, “to halt, to rest overnight”) < OC *lho(t)s < *lhuats, which, being a closed syllable, reflexes Proto-Chinese medial *-w-; unlike 舍 (shè) < MC *ɕia^H < OC *lhah, an open syllable whose phonological structure (at least in MC) did not allow medial *-w-. Schuessler concludes: "The ambivalence in the forms, as in the finals in these two words, is typical for loan words".
