-From 冖 over 车(車 chē) ‘chariot’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 军/軍(􂡴𠣞) jūn ‘army/unit (of 4,000 men)’ combines 包(􁣘) bāo (as in 包围 ‘encircle’) abbreviated to 勹(􁣆) bāo, and 车(車 chē) ‘war chariot’; in the modern form 勹 is written as 冖.
+	Note that 勹(􁣆) is a variant of 人(􁕎) rén ‘person’, written so as to enfold/surround something (as in 包 bāo ‘wrap’).
 	“The seal has not 冖 but 勹: the surrounding force, escort of the 車 war-chariot(s): a troop” —Karlgren.
 	“A legion 勹 of 4000 soldiers, with 車 chariots; 四千人包車為軍。By extension, an army” —Wieger.
-	Note that 勹 is a variant of 人 (rén) ‘person’, written so as to enfold or surround something, as in 包 bāo.
+	Compare: 君(􀍿𠱭􀎀) jūn ‘monarch’.
