Traditional 雲 · Simplified 云
「云」很早就用来记录云朵。它又被借来表示“说”，后来加上雨部成为「雲」；简体写作「云」。 云 was an early way to write “cloud.” After 云 also came to mean “say,” the rain element 雨 was added to make 雲; simplified writing uses 云 again.
分类依据 Why these classifications?
传统六书分类可以交叉。前四类描述构形，假借与转注涉及用字或字词关系。标签可能对应不同历史或现代字形。问号表示暂定或传统解释；打开汉字可查看依据。 The six traditional classifications (六书) overlap. The first four describe construction; loangraphs and derivative cognates concern use or relationships. Tags may refer to different historical or modern forms. A question mark flags a provisional or traditional interpretation; open a character for its evidence.

暂定分析 Provisional analysis一说早期「云」描画卷曲云气。中大字库也记载含声符的另一种解释；表示云朵的用法应与借来表示“说”的用法区分。
One interpretation reads early 云 as curling cloud vapour. CUHK also records a competing phonetic analysis; using 云 for “cloud” should not be confused with its loan use for “say.”

有来源支持的分析 Source-supported analysis后来的「雲」在「云」上加表示天象的「雨」，「云」保留读音线索。这一分析针对「雲」；简体「云」采用较早的形式。
The later 雲 adds the weather-related 雨 to 云, which retains the pronunciation. This analysis concerns 雲; simplified 云 returns to the older form.
