    HDZ: 開 : kāi : ​; ​, ​; ​, ​; ​; ​ (​); ​, ​ (​, ​); ​ (​); ​; ​; ​ (​, ​); ​ (​, ​, …); ​, ​ (​, ​); ​, ​; ​; ​, ​; ​; ​, ​; ​ (​, ​, ​); ​; ​; ​ (​, ​); ​, ​; ​/​, ​; (​) ​, …​…; (​) ​; …; (​); …; (​); (​) • qiān : (​) ​
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (4 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 開 (12 strokes), keeping the inner part ​, but omitting the rest ​ (8 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​, the full-form component ​ ‘door’ is completely omitted (it is wide open); in the non-standard simple-form variant ​𫔭 the full-form component ​ is simplified to ​ instead of simply omitted (as might have been expected).
    The full-form character 開 is itself an abbrev. of older forms, replacing the old component ​ (6 strokes) with ​ (4 strokes).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 開(​􂃍) kāi ‘to open doors’ combines ​ (mén) ‘double doors’, and ​(​􂟾) qiān ‘level/balanced’ (phonetic); formerly also wr. ​𨵑(​􂃎), in which the inner part was not ​(​􂟾) qiān, but ​(​􀝏) ‘upraised/respectful hands’ lifting the ​ bolt from the ​ ‘door’.
    Compare: 開/​ qiān (a mountain pass), formerly wr. ​ (DYC).
    Compare: ​(​􂟾) qiān ‘level/balanced’; ​(​􁙡𢆙) bìng ‘combine’.
    Compare: ​/​ shuān ‘door bolt/latch’ (​/​/​𢩠/​𣟴); ​𨳏(​􂃩𨳌).
    Compare: ​/​(​􂃏) kǎi ‘to open doors’, syn. 開(​􂃍) kāi (SW).
    Compare: ​(​􂃉) pì ‘open’, formerly wr. ​𨳟(​􂃊𨴔) with ​𡴂(​􀝤) pān, not ​𠬞(​􀝏).
