The kanji 墓墓 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side, 土 (tsuchi), is the radical for "earth" or "ground", indicating the context of the meaning. The right side, 莫 (baku or baku, meaning "do not" or "nothing"), functions phonetically, indicating the sound and providing a secondary meaning, possibly referring to the idea that the person is “no more”. Together, these components create the character representing a grave or tomb, a place within the earth.
