be hazy, grow dim, blurred
霞 centers on atmospheric obscurity: a hazy, dim, or blurred state, like a landscape softened by mist or fading light.
霞 combines 雨 (rain, atmospheric phenomena) with 叚, which likely contributes the sound and suggests a covering or veiling effect, giving the idea of haze or mist.
Under a rain-like veil (雨), the lower part 叚 looks like a distorted, hazy reflection. Imagine looking through a misty window where everything is blurred.
For カ, picture a car's headlights cutting through the haze: car -> カ, and the light grows dim in the mist.
