-From 君 jūn phonetic and 羊 (yáng) ‘sheep’. A herd of sheep; a crowd.
+The character 群 qún ‘flock/herd of goats/sheep/etc.’ combines 羊 (yáng) ‘goat/sheep’, and 君(􀍿) jūn (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 羣(􀨑), cf. 羣.
-	A variant form is 羣, with 君 on top of 羊.
+	Note: The modern form 群 was invented to specify the sense 羣 qún ‘(group/crowd of) friends’ (朋辈), but later 群 replaced 羣 in general usage.
