 For instance, the small seal script character for 'year' was converted by more conservative "liding" to a clerical script form that eventually led to the variant 秊, while the same character, after undergoing the more drastic "libian", gave rise to a clerical script form that eventually became the orthodox 年.A similar divergence in the regularization process led to two characters for 'tiger', 虎 and 乕.There are variants that arise through the use of different radicals to refer to specific definitions of a multisemous character.
