失魄（上失字說文從手從乙今隸書變體急書作失。下普伯反左傳曰心神之精爽是謂之魂魄。陽精為魂陰質為魄。易曰精氣為物遊魂為變。杜注左傳云魄形也。尚書云哉生魄。孔注云魄生明死也。又曰始生魄月十六日也文字典說云魄陰神也魄迫也著人也。顧野王云魄者謂月之形無光處暗晦者也。說文月始生魄然也承大月二日承小月三日古文作𲁌古今正字魂魄二字並從鬼。形聲字也）。

失魄 (first character 失: Shuowen jiezi says it is classified under radicals 手 and 乙; in contemporary clerical script, as a variant written hastily, it is written as 失. Second character: fanqie 普伯 [pò]; Zuozhuan: "The essential clarity of the mind-spirit is called the hun and po; the yang essence is the hun, and the yin corporeal substance is the po"; Yijing: "'The essence-qi forms things; the wandering hun causes transformation'"; Du's commentary to the Zuozhuan: "Po is the physical form"; Shangshu: "'When the po first began to grow'; Kong's commentary: "'Po is born as the light dies'"; it also says: "The po begins to grow on the sixteenth day of the lunar month"; Wenzi dian shuo: "Po is the yin spirit; po means 迫 [to press close]; it adheres to human beings"; Gu Yewang: "Po refers to the form of the moon where there is no light, being dark and obscure"; Shuowen jiezi: "It is how the moon first grows its po; on the second day following a long month, and on the third day following a short month; written in ancient script as 𲁌; Gujin zhengzi: Both characters hun and po are classified under radical 鬼; they are phono-semantic characters").
