Review: No, 言 is considered an iconic component in this character because the component is directly representing a picture of a mouth even if it was reanalyzed later to 言. It would still make sense to the reader.
Changed fields: components
Depicts a mouth (口) interrogating a captured prisoner of war (卂). 卂 also represents the sound. The 口 (mouth) component was later reanalyzed as 言 (speech).
