41.71

傴僂(上於禹反下力禹反通俗文云曲脊為之傴僂說文傴僂二字竝從人形聲字經從身作軁非也)。

Hunchbacked and stooped (傴僂: for the first character, fanqie yú-yǔ; for the second, fanqie lì-yǔ. The Tongsu wen says: "A bent spine is called hunchbacked and stooped (傴僂)." The Shuowen jiezi states that the two characters 傴 and 僂 both take the person radical and are phono-semantic characters. In the sūtra text, writing it with the body radical as 軁 is incorrect).
