song, sing, ballad, noh chanting
謡 centers on vocal musical expression: a song, the act of singing, or a specific style like noh chanting. The ballad sense is a narrative song.
謡 combines 言 (speech, words) with 䍃, which likely contributes the sound and is associated with shaking or swaying, perhaps suggesting rhythmic vocal expression. The exact historical development of 䍃 is uncertain.
Words (言) swaying rhythmically (䍃) become a song. Picture spoken words rising and falling like a melody.
For ヨウ, imagine a singer yodeling a ballad: yo-del -> ヨウ, and the words sway with the tune.
