-From 覀(襾) xià (phonetic) over 贝(貝 bèi) ‘money’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 贾/賈(􁄼) gǔ ‘buy/sell; businessman’ combines 贝/貝 (bèi) ‘cowrie/money’, and 覀(􁓨襾) yà ‘cover’ (phonosemantic); cf. 估 gū/gǔ, 顾/顧(顧), 雇(􀧛).
-	The character 價 jià ‘price’ was formerly written 賈; the modern simplified character 价(􁗷) originally had a different usage.
+	Note: 覀(􁓨襾) here seems to be short for 覈(􁓫􁓬𩅢) hé (phonosemantic), cf. 覈: 骨 (SW: 骨: 肉之覈).
+	Compare: 覈(􁓫􁓬𩅢) hé ‘verify/check’; 覂(􁓩) fěng ‘be short of, lack’.
+	Compare: 价/價 jià ‘price’, formerly wr. 賈; cf. 价(􁗷).
