kill
戮 centers on killing, especially in a violent or punitive context. The meaning is narrow and direct: to put to death.
戮 combines 翏 (possibly related to feathers or flight) with 戈 (halberd, weapon), suggesting killing with a weapon. The exact historical development of the left component is uncertain.
The left side 翏 looks like feathers or wings, and the right side 戈 is a halberd. Imagine a weapon striking down a bird in flight: a violent kill.
For リク, imagine a lick of a blade before the kill: lick -> リク, and the weapon 戈 delivers the fatal strike.
