衰耄(上率追反韻英云衰微也秏也下莫報反韻英云耄老也禮記云八十九十曰旄音耄鄭玄曰耄昏忘也或作耄𧂕皆古字也)。

Failing and senile (衰耄) (The first character has the fanqie shuai + zhui [shu-]. The Yunying says: 'Shuai (衰) means decline and exhaustion.' The second character has the fanqie mo + bao [m-]. The Yunying says: 'Mao (耄) means old.' The Liji says: 'Eighty and ninety are called mao (旄), pronounced mao.' Zheng Xuan says: 'Mao means confused and forgetful.' Sometimes written 耄 or 𧂕, both being ancient characters).
