16.72

聡黠(上倉紅反尚書聽曰聡必微諦又曰聡作謀所謀必成經中從忩作聡俗字也下閑八反考聲云黠利也方言[(夭/止)*(小/月)]魏之間謂慧為黠說文從黑吉聲也)。

Clever and shrewd (聡黠: the first character has the fanqie c- + [h]ong [=cōng]; the Shangshu says: 'Hearing is called cōng; it must be keen and penetrating'; it also says: 'Hearing produces counsel; what is counseled is sure to succeed'; in the sūtra it is written with 'window' [囪] as 聡, which is a vulgar character. The second character has the fanqie x- + [b]a [=xiá]; the Kaosheng says: 'Xiá (黠) means sharp-witted'; the Fangyan says: 'Between Jin and Wei, wisdom is called xiá'; the Shuowen says it is formed with 'black' [黑] and jí [吉] as phonetic).
