-From 钅(金) ‘metal’ and 失 shī phonetic.
+The full-form character 鐵(􂜶) tiě ‘iron (metal)’ combines 金 ‘metal’, and 𢧜(􁰓𢧤) zhì ‘great strength’ (phonosemantic).
-	The standard full form is 鐵 (of obscure etymology). Another (now non-standard) form is 鉄, in which 失 shī is phonetic. 鉄 was used as the basis of the modern simple form 铁.
+	Note: The old component 𢧜(􁰓𢧤) zhì ‘great strength’ combines 大 ‘great’, and 戜(􂍘) dié ‘sharp edge; cut’ (phonosemantic), in which 戈(􂍍) ‘lance-axe’, and 呈(􀎤) chéng ‘balanced’ (phonetic).
+	The simple-form character 铁 abbreviates the full-form component 𢧜 to 失 shī (phonetic); 铁 derives from an older abbrev. form 鉄.
