The

foot
can run SOO→ソウ fast because he’s running from calamity/early death.

Schuessler derives *ʔsoːʔ from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-sow “to arise; to awake,” along with *sru, “to move,” *sloːɡ, “quick,” *suɡ, “morning,” *sloŋʔ, “to excite,” and *sloːɡ, “vegetables.”

The main on’yomi ニュウ is from Middle Chinese /ȵʑi̯əp̚/ by way of Old Japanese にふ. The Proto-Sino-Tibetan root *nup sounds suspiciously like nuptials, from Proto-Indo-European *snewbʰ-, but that’s probably a coincidence.
The alternate reading ジュ, used in a few old words relating to courting, is also from にふ, but may have been influenced by a shift in the Mandarin pronunciation, an irregular sound change made for taboo reasons—to avoid homophony with its derived vulgar meaning.
Not part of any phonetic series, but related to (OC *nuːbs, “inside”)

is the radical for good /ロウ, although no link is apparent between the two characters. The only other character with this radical is “distressed,” but is also the basis of a phonetic series, as seen below.
Sears glosses as person-look-away, from eye mù and person-right bǐ, with the meaning “a person who is blunt.” This is at least not inconsistent with the I Ching interpretation, especially when you consider that a spoon is a blunt instrument.
