(S​) [jiǎng] speak/talk (講​); tell about, narrate/relate/explain (講​); discuss, 講​ bargain/haggle; stress (importance); 講​ lecture/instruct; (HDZ:) …

One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):

¹jiǎng [​] {A} v.speak; say; tellexplain; make clear; interpretdiscuss; negotiatestress; pay attention to; be particular aboutb.f. discourse; lecture ►yạ̌njiǎng 演讲cov. as far as sth. is concerned; as to/regards∼ tiàowǔ, tā bǐ shuí dōu xíng. ∼跳舞, 她比谁都行。 As for dancing, she's the best.

    HDZ: 講 : jiǎng : ​ (​, ​; ​, ​); ​, ​; ​; ​, ​; ​, ​ (​, ​); ​; ​, ​; ​; ​; ​, ​; ​: ​, ​
    HDC: 講​ : ​; ​
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 講 (17 strokes), simplifying the full-form component ​ to ​, and replacing the full-form component ​ (10 strokes) with ​ (4 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​ jiǎng, the full-form component ​ gòu/gōu, becomes ​ jǐng (phonetic), a better indication of MSC pronunciation.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/講(​􀚔𧪿) jiǎng ‘haggle/discuss/reconcile’ (​) combines ​/​ (yán) ‘direct speech’, and ​(​􀪷) gòu (phonosemantic); become balanced/reconciled after haggling/discussion.
    Note: ​/講(​􀚔𧪿) jiǎng ← MC /koŋʔ/; ​(​􀪷) gòu/gōu ← MC /kus/ku/ (SBGY).
    Compare: ​ jiǎng ‘plough/till’; ​ jiǎng/gòu ‘ugly/stupid’.
    Compare: ​/​(​􁅉) gòu ‘purchase/buy (haggle over trade-goods)’.
    Compare: ​ gòu ‘mate/spouse’ (䷫); ​(​􂉯) gòu ‘unite in marriage’.
    Compare: ​ hòu, ​(​􀒵) hòu ‘(happen to) meet/encounter’ (䷫).
