-<WL>况(F況) [kuàng] 情况 circumstances; 况且 moreover
+<WL>况(F況) [kuàng] circumstances/situation (情况); 况且 moreover@@; (HDZ:) cf. 況
-From 冫(二 èr) ‘two’ and 兄 xiōng phonetic.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 况/況(􁹗) kuàng ‘cold/cool water’ combines 氵(水 shuǐ) ‘water’, and 兄(􁝙) xiōng (phonetic); formerly wr. 兄.
-	In this case 冫 does not mean ‘water’ or ‘ice’, it is from 二 ‘two’: secondly; moreover.
+	In the simple form 况, the full-form component 氵 is abbrev. 冫(仌 bīng) ‘ice’.
-	The character 況, in which the left side is 氵(水 shuǐ) ‘water’, was originally a different (obsolete) word 況 huàng ‘ice water’, but now 況 is used in place of 况 among full form characters.
+	Note: Formerly 況(􁹗) kuàng ‘cold/cool water’, now 况 kuàng ‘circumstances/situation; secondly; moreover’; alt., the component 冫(二 èr) ‘two’ suggests ‘secondly’.
+	Compare: 矿/礦(􁦘) kuàng ‘ore/mineral’, 矿泉水 kuàngquánshuǐ ‘mineral water’.
