羸劣（上力為反考聲云羸疲極也說文羸瘦也正瘦字也從羊𣎆力為反聲也下力輟反字書劣弱也從少力會意字也）。

Feeble and degraded (羸劣; the first character is pronounced li-wei fan [l-]: The Kaosheng says, "Lei means utterly exhausted." The Shuowen jiezi says, "Lei means emaciated." It is the correct character for lean; it is formed from "sheep" (羊) with 𣎆 (pronounced li-wei fan) as phonetic. The second character is pronounced li-chuo fan [l-]: Character dictionaries say, "Inferior and weak." It is an ideogram formed from "few" (少) and "strength" (力)).
