+<WL>饑 [jī] poor grain harvest, crop failure, famine; (=飢S饥) starve/hungry@@; (HDZ:) 荒年, 五谷不收; 飢: 饿; (姓)  [qí] (地名)
-From 飠(食 shí) ‘eat’ and 幾 jǐ phonetic. 饑 appears to be slightly less standard than 飢 among full form characters. At any rate, the 几 in 飢 is not the result of simplification from 幾; 饑 and 飢 are variants of independent origin. The simple form is always 饥.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 饑(􀸥) jī ‘poor grain harvest’ combines 飠(食 shí) ‘eat/food’, and 幾(􀪾) jǐ ‘subtle signs/omens; crisis/danger/peril’ (phonosemantic).
+	Compare: 饥/飢(􀸩) jī ‘hungry’, cf. 饥.
+	Note: The forms 飢/饑 are sometimes used interchangeably among full-form characters; 飢 seems to be more common among full form characters.
