朕 *l'ɯmʔ
鰧 *l'ɯmʔ, *l'ɯːŋ
螣 *l'ɯmʔ, *l'ɯːŋ, *l'ɯːɡ

蕂 *hljɯŋs
榺 *hljɯŋs
塍 *ɦljɯŋ
媵 *ljɯŋs, *lɯŋs
賸 *ɦljɯŋs, *lɯŋs

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *hljɯŋ, *hljɯŋs) : phonetic 朕 (OC *l'ɯmʔ) + semantic 力 (“strength”).

Graphically, the character decomposes as 月 + 劵 (which gives rise to the simplified form 胜), though this is not the etymology.
