參差（上磣參反下廁師反假借字也韻詮云參差者不齊之皃參字古文或作[晶/尒]經作參俗字也）。

參差 (The upper character is pronounced 磣 plus 參 in fanqie; the lower character is pronounced 廁 plus 師 in fanqie. They are phonetic-loan characters. The Yunquan says: '參差 means the appearance of being uneven.' The character 參 is sometimes written in ancient script as [晶/尒]; in the sūtra it is written as 參, which is a vulgar form).
