4.17

能剌（上奴登反廣雅能任也博雅堪任其事也說文能熊屬也足似鹿故從二匕從肉[└@(┐/┐)]聲也[└@(┐/┐)]古以字也今隸書因草省為々不但訛略非也經作能草書謬亦非也下青亦反說文直傷從刀朿聲經從夾作㓨俗字訛也熊音雄）。

Able to pierce (能剌: the first character, nu [奴] + deng [登] fan. The Guangya says: “能 means capable.” The Boya says: “Able to undertake a task.” The Shuowen says: “能 is of the bear genus; its legs resemble a deer, hence formed from two bǐ [匕], from flesh [肉], with [└@(┐/┐)] phonetic.” [└@(┐/┐)] is the ancient character for 以. Modern clerical script, due to cursive abbreviation, reduces it to 々, which is not only an erroneous abbreviation but incorrect. In the sūtra written as 能 in cursive error, which is also wrong. The second character, qing [青] + yi [亦] fan. The Shuowen says: “To wound directly; formed from knife [刀] with 朿 phonetic.” In the sūtra written with 夾 as 㓨, an erroneous vulgar character. Bear has the sound xiong [雄]).
