-The simple-form character 监 is an abbrev. of the full form 監, replacing the upper 9 strokes of the full form (臥󰀄) with 5 strokes (); the lower part 皿, formerly 血 is an abbrev. (see below).
+The simple-form character 监 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 監 (14 strokes), replacing the upper-left full-form component 臣 (6 strokes) with just  (2 vertical strokes).
-	The full-form character 監 jiān ‘supervise’ seems to have 卧 wò ‘bend down’, over 血 xuè ‘blood’ (in the Seal), but the traditional explanation is more complicated.
+	The full-form character 監 was formerly wr. 𧗄, with 卧/臥 over 血 (not 皿); in old texts the component 血 here is said to be an abbrev. of the old character 䘓.
 	The Shuōwén Seal form of 监/監(􁙺𧗄) jiàn/jiān ‘inspect/supervise’ is said to combine 卧(􁙹臥) wò ‘bend down’, and 䘓(􀶾) kàn ‘blood broth/stew’ (abbrev. phonetic); formerly wr. 𧨭(􁙻), with 言(􀘢) yán ‘direct speech’ (phonosemantic).
 	Note: In 監(􁙺𧗄) the SW phonetic 䘓(􀶾) is abbrev. to its left-side part 血 xuè ‘blood’, omitting the actual phonetic 臽(􁍻𦥢) xiàn ‘pit/trap’ (phonosemantic); for the SW gloss 监/臨 (监视), cf. 𧗄←䘓←臽, ䷒臨 ‘stoop down’, vs. ䷓觀.
-	In the modern simple form 监, the top component 卧 is abbrev. to  (臣 is just  two strokes, and the dot on 血 combined with 卜 to give a shape like 亇).
+	Note: In the modern simple form 监, the top component 卧 is abbrev. to  (臣 is just  two strokes, and the dot on 血 combined with 卜 to give a shape like 亇).
 	“[監] The seal has: to 卧 bend over a 血 sacrificial bowl with blood: examine the omen” —Karlgren(AD).
 	Note:Today 監 jiān ‘keep watch on’ (监视), but formerly 監 jiàn had the meaning today wr. 鉴/鑒(􂝑鑑) jiàn ‘large water/wash basin; mirror; reflect/shine; inspect’ (HDZ).
