55.5

姑妐(下燭容反爾雅云夫之兄為妐郭注云今俗呼兄為鍾語之轉耳考聲方言並云今開中呼夫之父曰妐玉篇云或為公字亦音鍾)。

姑妐 (The second character has the fanqie 燭 + 容 [zhōng]. The Erya says: 'A husband's elder brother is called 妐.' Guo [Pu's] commentary says: 'In common usage today, an elder brother is called 鍾 [zhōng]; this is merely a phonetic shift.' The Kaosheng and the Fangyan both say: 'In the Guanzhong region today, a husband's father is called 妐.' The Yupian says: 'It is sometimes written as the character 公, and is also pronounced zhōng.')
