栖泊（上先𠔃反爾雅栖息也廣雅棲息謂之林正從妻從木作棲經從西作栖俗字也說文云鳥在巢上象形作[(疆-(彊-弓))-土+(鹵-├)]古文西字也日在西方而鳥栖故因為東西之西字下傍莫反楚詞曰陵陽烏之汎濫忽翱翔之栖泊王逸注云泊猶止也水流停止曰泊也）。

Roosting and lodging (栖泊: the first character has the fanqie x[iān] + [x]ī; the Erya says: "Qi (栖) means to rest." The Guangya says: "Resting is called lin." The standard form has the wife radical and the tree radical, forming 棲; the canonical text uses the form with the west radical as 栖, which is a popular character. The Shuowen says: "A bird on its nest, pictographic"; it is an ancient form of west (西). Because the sun is in the west when birds roost, it was adopted as the character for west. The second character has the fanqie b[àng] + [m]ò; the Chuci says: "Ascending, the sun bird surges, / Suddenly soaring and resting." Wang Yi's commentary says: "Bo (泊) is like halting. When flowing water comes to a halt, it is called bo").
