20.43

分劑（上墳問反顧野王云分猶限界也說文云分別也從八從刀下齊䋄反字書云劑分段也古今正字從刀齊聲經本作齊是和調之齊也）。

分劑 ("limits and portions"; the former character, fanqie: 墳 + 問. Gu Yewang says: "Fen (分) is like bounds and limits." The Shuowen says: "Fen means to divide; it takes 八 and 刀." The latter character, fanqie: 齊 + 䋄. The Zishu says: "Ji (劑) means divided sections." The Gujin zhengzi says: "It takes 刀 as semantic and 齊 as phonetic." In the sūtra text it is written as 齊, which is the character for blending and adjusting).
