Famine and dearth (飢饉; the first character is *ji* + *xi* [jī]; Guo's commentary on the *Erya* says: "飢 means the five grains do not ripen." The *Guliang zhuan* says: "When the five grains do not ripen, it is a great famine." The *Shuowen jiezi* says it has the food radical and the *jǐ* sound; it is also written 饑. The second is *qin* + *jǐn* [jǐn]; the *Erya* says: "When vegetables do not ripen, it is called 饉." Guo's commentary says: "All plants and trees that are edible are generally called vegetables." The *Guliang zhuan* says: "When the three grains do not ripen, it is called 饉." The *Shuowen jiezi* says it has the food radical and the *jǐn* sound; 堇 is pronounced *jǐn*).
