瘦短(端管反蒼頡篇云短促也說文不長也從矢豆省聲也經文從手作𢭃非也不成字也)。

Emaciated and short (瘦短: [the second character] has the fanqie d- + [g]uan [=duǎn]; the Cangjie pian says: 'Duǎn (短) means brief or short'; the Shuowen says: 'Not long'; it is formed with 'arrow' [矢] and an abbreviated dòu [豆] as phonetic; in the sūtra text it is written with 'hand' as 𢭃, which is incorrect and does not form a real character).
