-The full form 總 is 糸 (sī) ‘thread’ (tie up; collect; summarize) plus 悤 cōng phonetic. In the simple form 总, 糸 is omitted and the top is abbreviated.
+The simple-form character 总 (9 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 總 (17 strokes), omitting the left-side full-form component 糸 (6 strokes), and replacing the full-form component 悤 (11 strokes) with the abbrev. form 总 (substituting 𠮦 for 囱/囪, not 㕣; cf. 兑).
+	Note: The simple-form character 总 omits the full-form component 糸 rather than simplifying it to 纟; the component 悤 of the full form could not be used as the simple form of 總 (without modification) because 悤 was already in use for 怱/匆 cōng ‘hurry/hasty’; cf. 匆.
+	The full-form character 總 is also wr. 緫, with 怱 instead of 悤.
+	The Shuōwén Seal form of 總(􂐮) zǒng ‘bind/truss together/up’ combines 糸 (sī) ‘silk/thread/cord’, and 悤(􁯶) cōng (phonosemantic).
+	Compare: 總 zǒng ‘torch (of bundled hemp/flax stems)’; 葱/蔥(􀊭) cōng ‘green onion’.
+	Compare: 聪/聰(􂃼) cōng ‘sharp/acute (of hearing); sharp/clever’.
