22.144

揣食(揣食字正冝作搏音徒鸞反字從專聲非從甫韻流俗不能別茲兩形遂謬用揣字音初委反此乃揣量之字也)。

Solid food (揣食: the character for *chuǎi* [揣] in *chuǎishí* properly should be *bó* [搏], pronounced *tuán* [徒鸞反]; the character is formed with the phonetic *zhuān* [專], not the rhyme of *fǔ* [甫]. Vulgar tradition is unable to distinguish these two forms and has erroneously used the character *chuǎi* [揣], pronounced *chuǎi* [初委反]; this is properly the character for 'estimate' [揣量]).
