musical score, music, note, staff, table, genealogy
譜 centers on a structured written record that maps out relationships or sequences: a musical score maps notes, a table maps data, and a genealogy maps family lineage.
譜 combines 言 (speech, words) with 普 (widely, generally), suggesting a written record that makes information widely available. The musical score sense likely developed from the idea of a written chart.
Words (言) arranged universally (普) like a chart: imagine a musical score where notes are written out in a structured table, or a family tree where names are laid out in order.
For フ, picture a musical score with a big 'F' note at the top: F -> フ, and the whole score is a 譜.
