    HDZ: 訴 : sù : ​, ​; ​, ​…​ (​, ​); ​, ​; ​; ​, ​ (cf. ​)
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/訴(​􀜇𧩯) sù ‘tell/accuse’ combines ​/​ (yán) ‘direct speech’, and ​(​􁥯) chì ‘blame/denounce’ (phonosemantic); formerly also wr. ​𧪜(​􀜈), ​(​􀜉), with ​(​􁊈) shuò (phonetic).
    Note: In the modern forms ​/訴 the component ​ seems to add a stroke to ​(​􂠊) jīn ‘axe’, but ​ is not a trad. component of ​, which is really an abbrev. of old ​(​􁥯) chì.
    Note: The components ​ and ​ were once closer in pronunciation to sù; both had a fricative in the initial, and something like an “-ak” final; (cf. GSR).
    “[訴] ​ blaming ​ words” —Karlgren(AD).
