 <WL>鹏(F鵬) [péng] (传说) 大鹏 fabulous/mythical giant bird (roc)@@  [fèng] cf. 鵬
-From 朋 péng (‘friend’) phonetic and 鸟(鳥 niǎo) ‘bird’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 鹏/鵬(􀨧𪈵) péng/fèng ‘roc/phoenix’ (mythical/auspicious bird) combines 朋(􀨦𢐴) péng/fèng (phonosemantic), and 鸟/鳥 (niǎo) ‘bird’; formerly also wr. 朋(􀨦𢐴), the main SW form is 鳳(􀨥).
-	It was once believed that 朋 depicted the bird’s enormous wings, and that 鸟 was added when 朋 was borrowed for the meaning ‘friend’. But recent archeological evidence does not support that theory.
+	Compare: 凤/鳳(􀨥) fèng; 鹏/鵬(􀨧𪈵) péng/fèng; 朋(􀨦𢐴) péng.
+	Note: The forms 鹏/鵬, and 朋 are SW variants of 凤/鳳 (mythical/auspicious bird), but usages diverged over the years; there are two traditional readings of the mythical bird name (péng/fèng), but the character 朋 péng ‘friend’ has become specialized in modern usage (cf. 朋).
