冟 | *hmjeɡ |
冖 | *meːɡ |
冪 | *meːɡ |
羃 | *meːɡ |

Originally written as 幎: Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *meːɡ) : semantic 巾 (“cloth”) + phonetic 冥 (OC *meːŋ).
Later the 六 was corrupted to 大 and the character became 幂.
艹 was added to form a new phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *meːɡ) : semantic 巾 (“cloth”) + phonetic 幕 (OC *maːɡ).
