Characters in the same phonetic series (戈) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
戕 *kaːl, *ʔsaːŋ, *zaŋ
戈 *koːl
划 *koːlʔ, *koːls, *ɡroːl

Pictogram (象形) ― an ancient weapon with a single blade. The vertical handle developed into the long upper-left to lower-right diagonal stroke.

See also 我, which is the same weapon but with three blades instead of one, making it similar to a trident.
