木榓(民必反埤蒼云香木也字指取香皆當[(又/木)*頁]斫久乃香出銘曰榓之為木其樹甚大欲取其香必彌年載古今正字從木𥁑聲亦作榓)。

Aquilaria wood (榓: [fanqie] 民 + 必. The Picang says it is an aromatic wood. The Zizhi says that to obtain the fragrance one must hack and chop it; after a long time the fragrance comes forth. An inscription says: 'The tree of the mimi is very large; if one wishes to obtain its fragrance, it takes a full year or more.' The Gujin zhengzi says it takes wood [木] as radical and 𥁑 as phonetic; also written as 榓).
