稠密（上宙流反毛詩傳稠亦密也說文稠多也從禾周聲經從糸作綢是綢繆字非經義也）。

稠密 [Dense and thick] (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie zhòu + liú [chóu]. The commentary to the Mao Classic of Poetry states: "Chóu also means dense." The Shuowen states: "Chóu means numerous. It takes 'hé' (禾) as its semantic classifier and 'zhōu' (周) as its phonetic component." The sūtra text writes it with 'mì' (糸) as '綢', which is the character for chóumóu [bound / tied together] and is not the meaning of the sūtra).
