-<WL>晨 [chén] (早晨 zǎochen) morning
+<WL>晨 [chén] (早晨 zǎochen) morning@@; (HDZ:) 早晨; 鸡啼报晓; (星名) 曟: (星宿名) 房星 (房宿); 二十八宿; 辰: 辰时
-From 日 (rì) ‘sun’ and 辰 chén, which is the name of the two-hour period between 7 and 9 in the morning.
+The character 晨(􁊅) chén ‘morning/dawn’ (􀝸䢅) combines 日 rì ‘sun/star’, and 辰(􂥳) chén ‘Scorpio/Antares’ (phonosemantic); it is a variant of the main Shuōwén form 曟(􁊄) chén ‘Scorpio/Antares’ (房宿) which has 晶(􁉾) ‘stars’ above instead of 日(􁈏).
-	晨 chén is etymologically the same word as 辰 chén, written with 日 ‘sun’ added for emphasis.
+	Note: The astronym (constellation/star name) ‘Scorpio/Antares’ (大火) was variously written 曟(􁊄􁊅晨), 䢅(􀝸), and abbreviated as 辰(􂥳), which in ancient graphs represented the tail of the scorpion.
+	Note: 晨 chén ‘morning/dawn’ was properly written 䢅(􀝸), but the two forms 晨/䢅 were anciently conflated.
+	Compare: 農/农(􀝹䢉) nóng ‘agriculture’.
