(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (11 strokes) is an old abbrev. of the full-form character 蓋 (13 strokes), replacing the top full-form part ​ (8 strokes) with the shape ​𦍌 (6 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​, the top part looks like ​𦍌/​ yáng ‘sheep’; in the full form 蓋, the top part looks ​ (not a trad. component of the full form 蓋).
    The full-form character 蓋(⿱​), formerly wr. ​(⿱​), adds the upper component ​ (cǎo) ‘grass’ in order to specify 蓋 gài ‘thatch’ from old ​/​(⿱​) hé/gài ‘cover/thatch’.
    Note: The inner full-form component ​ (top of ​) replaces the old strokes ​ (top of ​); ​ is not a trad. comp. of the old form ​, but cf. ​(​􀶭), ​(​􁒬) for the same ‘covered vessel’ motif.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/蓋(​􀉵) gài ‘thatch/straw roof/cover’ combines ​ (​ cǎo) ‘grass/straw’ (cogongrass thatch), and ​(​􀷀𥁋) hé/gài ‘to cover (a dish/etc.)’ (phonosemantic); cf. ​.
