貶黜（上筆奄反何注公羊傳貶損也褒善而貶惡也說文亦損也從貝乏聲古文作𦥤從寸從臼巢覆之也寸人手也下勅律反范寗集解黜退也柱也杜注左傳黜放也賈注國語癈也說文貶下也從黑出聲褒音補毛反）。

To demote and dismiss (貶黜: the first [character] is *p(yit)* + *'(em)* in fanqie. He [Xiu's] commentary on the Gongyang zhuan says: '貶 means to diminish; to praise good and diminish evil.' The Shuowen also says: 'To diminish; derived from 貝 with 乏 phonetic.' Ancient script writes it as 𦥤, derived from 寸, with 臼 overturned over it; 寸 is a human hand. The second [character] is *th(yok)* + *l(yut)* in fanqie. Fan Ning's Jijie says: '黜 means to demote, to depose.' Du [Yu's] commentary on the Zuozhuan says: '黜 means to banish.' Jia [Kui's] commentary on the Guoyu says: 'To discard.' The Shuowen says: 'To demote downward; derived from 黑 with 出 phonetic.' 褒 is pronounced *b(u)* + *m(aw)* in fanqie.)
