-“Etymologically the same word as 花; analysis of character uncertain, perhaps simply a picture of a luxuriant tree” —Karlgren(1923).
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 華(􁃚𦾓) huā/huá ‘flowering’ adds 艹/艸 ‘grass/plant’ on top of 𠌶(􁃗) fū/xū ‘flowering’ (phonosemantic), cf. 𠌶. In the modern Full form 華 the lower component is abbreviated to look like 𠦒󰀄; and in the modern Simple form 华 the top is abbreviated to look like 化 huà (phonetic), while the bottom 十 stays the same (short for the old 亏/丂 sub-phonetic component).
-	The simple form 华 is 化 huà phonetic over 十, which is just the bottom two strokes of the full form 華.
+	“Etymologically the same word as 花; analysis of character uncertain, perhaps simply a picture of a luxuriant tree” —Karlgren(1923).
-	Compare 毕(畢) bì.
+	Compare: 毕/畢(􀪲𤲃) bì ‘finish’.
