21.391

初本末相生,此中乃至名必有字者,此文不具,若具應言欲為字首,字為名首,名為句首,句必有名,名必有字,字必有欲,欲想與尋并發起名,今且舉欲。又若有字,名所不攝,唯字無名者,但有名必帶於字,自有字名所不攝,謂無詮表。

First, the mutual arising of root and branch: regarding "herein" up to "a name necessarily has phonemes", this text is incomplete. If complete, it should say: desire is the head of phonemes, phonemes are the head of names, names are the head of sentences; a sentence necessarily has names, a name necessarily has phonemes, a phoneme necessarily has desire. Desire, ideation, and investigation together give rise to names; here desire is provisionally adduced. Furthermore, regarding "if there are phonemes not subsumed under names, being merely phonemes without names": whenever there is a name, it necessarily carries phonemes; there naturally are phonemes not subsumed under names, meaning they lack expressive denotation.
