-<WL>练(F練) [liàn] white silk; (练习 liànxí) practice
+<WL>练(F練) [liàn] practice/drill/train (训练, 练习); boil/soften/whiten raw silk/textiles (白练 ‘white silk’); (姓)
-The full form 練 is composed of 糸 (sī) ‘silk’ and 柬 jiǎn phonetic. The simple form 练 is 纟 plus . Notice that the component (柬 jiǎn) is not the same as 东(東 dōng ‘east’).
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 练/練(􂑐) liàn ‘boil/soften/whiten raw silk’ combines 纟/糸 (sī) ‘silk’, and 𫠣/柬(􁃨) jiǎn ‘select/choose’ (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. 湅.
+	Note: 拣/揀 jiǎn ‘select/choose’, formerly wr. 柬(􁃨).
+	Note: Today mainly 练/練 liàn ‘practice/drill/train’, but formerly 练/練(􂑐) liàn ‘boil/purify raw silk’.
 	“To boil and bleach raw silk; purify; to discipline, to drill, to practise” —Karlgren.
-	练(練) liàn ‘white silk’ is etymologically the same word as 炼(煉) liàn ‘refine’ (as in 锻炼 duànliàn ‘exercise’). Compare 拣(揀) jiǎn ‘choose’.
+	Compare: 炼(􁮆煉􂝄鍊􁾀湅) liàn ‘smelt/refine’ (锻炼 duànliàn ‘exercise’).
