Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (劦) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
More information Old Chinese ...

Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 口 (“mouth”) + 十 (“ten”) – many voices in harmony. 十 (OC *ɡjub) may also act as a phonetic component. It is an ancient variant form of 協 (OC *ɦleːb) used since antiquity.

It was later borrowed for 葉 / 叶 because 協 / 协 (xié) and 葉 / 叶 are homophones in some varieties of Northern Wu. This usage was made official in Simplified Chinese.
