乞匃（古　反又音葛蒼頡篇乞行請求也字從人從韲言人　財物則行求匃字之意也）。

Begging for alms (乞匃: [匃 has] the fanqie 古 + [曷] [gài], and is also pronounced gài. The Cangjie pian says: '乞 means to go around asking and seeking.' The character is composed of 'person' [人] and 'bundle' [勹/蟸], meaning when a person [lacks] wealth and material goods, they go around begging; such is the meaning of the character 匃).
