14.142

傭纖(丑龍反考聲上下均也韻英直也說文均直也從人庸聲經從月作𦟛俗字也下相閻反廣雅纖微也說文細也從糸韱聲也或從女作孅韱音尖經從截非也)。

Proportionate and slender (傭纖: the upper character [well-proportioned / upright (傭)] is 丑 [chou] + 龍 [long] [chōng]. The Kaosheng says: 'Even and balanced from top to bottom.' The Yunying says: 'Straight.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Even and straight.' Composed of the person radical (亻/人) with 庸 as phonetic. The sūtra writing it with the flesh radical as 𦟛 is a vulgar character. The lower character [slender (纖)] is 相 [xiang] + 閻 [yan] [xiān]. The Guangya says: '纖 means minute.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Fine.' Composed of the silk radical (糸) with 韱 as phonetic; it is also written with the woman radical as 孅. 韱 is pronounced 尖 [jiān]. The sūtra writing it with 截 is incorrect).
