18.237

嬰纏(上益盈反漢書云嬰城固守音義云以城自繞也據義合作縈纏毛詩傳曰縈纏繞也旋也今經文從女作嬰女孩子也非此義)。

嬰纏 [Entangled]: The first character is read with the fanqie 益 [y-] + 盈 [-īng] (yīng). The Book of Han says: '嬰城固守 (encircling the city to hold fast).' The sound and meaning glosses say: 'To surround oneself with the city wall.' According to the meaning, it should properly be written as 縈纏. The Mao Commentary to the Classic of Poetry says: '縈 means to encircle and entangle; to revolve.' Now the scripture's text uses 女 (woman) to write 嬰, which means an infant girl, not this meaning.
