19.174

瞚頃(輸閏反呂氏春秋云萬世猶一瞚也說文謂目開闔數搖也從目寅聲或作瞬經作眴非義也)。

瞚頃 (fanqie: 輸閏). The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'Ten thousand generations are like a single blink (瞚).' The Shuowen says: 'It refers to the eyes opening and closing, fluttering repeatedly.' It is formed from [the semantic component] 目 (eye) and 寅 as the phonetic component; it is also written as 瞬. The sūtra text writes 眴, which is not correct in meaning.
