41.106

牆壁(上匠羊反說文云牆垣也蔽也從𰉒爿聲也經從土作墻俗字也下并覓反說文從广作癖形聲字經從土俗字也)。

Walls (牆壁: the upper character has the fanqie jiàng + yáng [qiáng]; Shuowen jiezi states: 'A wall is an enclosure; a screen; derived from 𰉒 with 爿 phonetic'; the sūtra writes it with 土 as 墻, which is a vulgar character. The lower character has the fanqie bìng + mì [bì]; Shuowen jiezi derives it from 广 as 癖, a phono-semantic character; the sūtra writes it with 土, which is a vulgar character).
