-From 水 (shuǐ) ‘water’ turned sideways ( looks just like ☵ Kǎn in the seal character 􀶣), over 皿 (mǐn) ‘dish’. Note that it is turned sideways because it is over-flowing. Cp. 泴(=􀶩盥)
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 益(􀶣) yì ‘over-full/overflow’ (溢) combines 水(􁶢) shuǐ ‘water’ (turned sideways), and 皿 mǐn ‘vessel/bowl’ (器皿); the upper component 水(☵) is turned sideways because the bowl is brimming over (over-full), the liquid is over-flowing; later wr. 溢(􁽕).
-	“It represents a 皿 vase, so full of 水 water, that it overflows. This circumstance is represented by the fact that 水 is over the vase and is bent down, thus expressing its overflowing. By extension, addition, profit, excess, overplus.” —Wieger.
+	Note: Formerly 益, later wr. 溢, adding an extra component 氵(水) to specify literal ‘overflowing water’, vs. more abstract 益 yì ‘wealth/profit/benefit’ (the main modern usage).

+	Compare: 溢(􁽕) yì ‘overflow’ (formerly wr. 益); 泴(􀶩盥) guàn ‘wash’ (formerly also wr. 泴); 頻(􁾐𩕘) pín ‘repeatedly’, 涉(􁾏𣥿) shè ‘ford a stream’ (☵水).
+	Note: (诗) (北門) 王事適我、政事一埤益我 “The king's business comes on me, And the affairs of our government in increasing measure.” (Legge)
+	Note: (诗) (天保) 天保定爾…俾爾多益 “Heaven protects and establishes thee, [...] Grants thee much increase, [...].” (Legge)
+	Note: (诗) (板) 如取如攜、攜無日益、牖民孔易 “As you take a thing, and bring it away in your hand, Bringing it away without any more ado. The enlightenment of the people is very easy.” (Legge)
+	Older graphs associated with 益/溢 are also associated with old forms of 易/錫/賜.
+	Note: The hexagram ䷩(☴☳) 益 Yì ‘Increase’ (周易) depicts the pouring of ☵ liquid from one vessel into another; the two vessels are ☴ (full, upside down, above), and ☳ (empty, right-side up, below); after the liquid has been poured, the result is ䷨(☶☱) 损 Sǔn ‘Decrease’, with ☶ (empty, upside down, above) and ☱ (full, right-side up, below).
+	“[益] represents a 皿 vase, so full of 水 water, that it overflows. This circumstance is represented by the fact that 水 is over the vase and is bent down, thus expressing its overflowing. By extension, addition, profit, excess, overplus.” —Wieger.
+	Compare: 铸/鑄(􂝁) zhù ‘cast/found (metal)’; old 铸 graphs with 壽(􁜌𦓆) depict the smelting/founding process (in producing metal/bronze vessels).
+	Compare: 盈(􀶤) yíng ‘full vessel’, in which the top part 夃(􀻛) gǔ ‘profit’ with 乃(􀴫𠄎) and 夂(􀻗) is glossed 益 (SW).
