I didn't add a source for that. Though this could be from two different origins, the source doesn't acknowledge 倝 and explains it in terms of 朝, where the component seems well defined early on. The case of 倝 seems more like corruption that ended up looking like 𠦝 by chance later. Strictly I suppose there shouldn't be any component break down since there are two. I don't know."
