-The Shuōwén Seal form of 曹(􀴪𣍘) cáo ‘plaintiff vs. defendant’ combines (􁂭㯥) cáo ‘from dawn to dawn (a day)’ (phonosemantic), and 曰(􀴣) yuē ‘speak’ (plead one's case at court).
+The character 曹 (11 strokes) is an abbrev. of the old form 𣍘 (20 strokes), replacing the old component 㯥 (16 strokes) with its abbrev. form  (7 strokes).
-	Note: In the modern form 曹, the old component 㯥(􁂭) cáo, itself said to be an old wr. of 曹, is abbrev. to  (like 䒼, but only 7 strokes); for the meaning of 㯥 cáo, cf. 朝(􁉟𦩻) cháo, 早(􁈔𣅼) zǎo.
+	Note: In the later form 曹 the old component 㯥 (itself said to be an old wr. of 曹) is abbrev. to  (like 䒼, but only 7 strokes).
-	“The seal has 東东 doubled above, now contracted: the 曰 name of 東/东 the eastern regions” —Karlgren(AD).
+	The Shuōwén Seal form of 曹(􀴪𣍘) cáo ‘plaintiff vs. defendant’ (litigants in a court case) combines (􁂭㯥) cáo ‘from dawn to dawn (a day)’ (phonosemantic), and 曰(􀴣) yuē ‘speak’ (plead one's case at court).
+	Note: The component 㯥 cáo here suggests 朝(􁉟𦩻) cháo ‘visit/summon; imperial court’, cf. 朝(􁉟𦩻) zhāo ‘dawn’, 早(􁈔𣅼) zǎo ‘early morn’.
 	Compare: 螬(􂗍𧖤𧕐) cáo ‘grub/larva (of scarab beetle)’.
 	Compare: 糟(􁍝𥽾) zāo ‘rotten (dregs)’; 遭(􀒴𨙠) zāo ‘meet/encounter (trouble)’.
+	“[曹] The seal has 東 doubled above, now contracted: the 曰 name of 東 the eastern regions” —Karlgren(AD).
