The full-form character 漢(𤁉) hàn ‘river name’ (汉水) combines 氵(水 shuǐ) ‘water’, and 難(𩁘𪇠𪄿) nán ‘difficult’ (abbrev. phonetic).
    In the simple form 汉 the right-side full-form component 難 is first simplified to 难, and then abbreviated to 又 (omitting 隹).
    Note: The full-form sub-component (𡏳𦰩堇) qín/jìn ‘sticky/rich clay/mud’ is an old character, also wr. 𦻍(𦻋), no longer much used as an independent character except in the form 堇, conflated with 蓳 ‘violet’; it is simplified to 又 in compound characters; it is the phonetic in (and an old wr. of) several characters.
    Compare: 暵(𤑆熯) hàn ‘parched’; 艰/艱(𥌵) jiān ‘difficult/hard’ (艰难); 叹/嘆 tàn ‘sigh’; 仅/僅 jǐn ‘barely’.
    Compare: 滩/灘(𤅼𤅩) tān ‘beach’, in which 难/難(𩁘) nán (phonetic) is not abbrev.
    Note: 汉/漢 Hàn was the name of a river, the name of two dynasties (206 BC - 220 AD), and the name of the most populous Chinese nationality and their language.
    Compare: 汉水, 汉江; 汉代, 西汉, 东汉; 老汉, 汉子; 汉语, 汉字.
