妓女（奇倚反蒼頡篇云妓美婦也考聲云女人之作樂者也說文從女支聲下文妓樂等並同）。

妓女 ("female entertainers"; [the former] fanqie: 奇 + 倚. The Cangjie pian says: "Ji (妓) means a beautiful woman." The Kaosheng says: "Women who make music." The Shuowen says: "It takes 女 as semantic and 支 as phonetic." In later passages, ji in jiyue (妓樂, female music) and so forth are all the same).
