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

The Shuōwén Seal form of 连/​(​􀓤) lián ‘rickshaw/handcart’ combines ​/​ (chē) ‘cart’, and ​(​ chuò) ‘go’; later wr. ​/​(​􂢘) niǎn/liǎn (​).
    Note: Today 连/​ lián ‘join/link/connect’ (连​), and the old sense 连/​(​􀓤) lián ‘rickshaw/handcart’ (cart drawn by humans, rather than by draft animals) has been lost; cf. ​ ‘sedan chair; imperial capital’ (​).
    Compare: ​/​(​􂃹) lián ‘link’, which is the old wr. of 连/​ lián ‘link’.
    Compare: ​(​􂢇􁓕) chuò (DYC).
