 The full form 證(􀜗) zhèng ‘prove’ combines 讠(言 yán) ‘direct speech’, 登(􀑵) dēng ‘climb’ (phonetic).
 	The simple form 证 has 正 zhèng ‘correct’ (phonosemantic) instead of 登.
-	Note: The form 証 was often used in place of 證; according to Karlgren 証 zhèng ‘remonstrate’ was etymologically the same word as 正 and 政, cf. (SW:) “証, 諫也。”
+	Note: The simple form 证 derives from an old form 証(􀙦) zhèng ‘criticize/admonish/accuse’, formerly also used for 證 zhèng ‘prove/verify’ (accusations must be proven true).
+	Note: Today the simple form 证 is used except when the meaning is ‘disease’, in which case the simple form is 症 (also sometimes used among full form characters).
+	Compare: 征(􀒓)/徵(􁙱) zhēng ‘evidence’; 政(􀢗) zhèng ‘rectify/correct/rule’; 定(􁎶𡧡) dìng ‘fixed/regular/stable’.
