55.61

𥿳滑(上棲祭反正從囟作𥿳經文從田作細俗字也囟音信下環八反廣雅云滑微也說文云利也從水骨聲)。

Xihua (fine and slippery) (the first character has the fanqie: 棲 + 祭 [xì]; it is properly written with 囟 as 𥿳; the sūtra text writes it with 田 as 細, which is a popular variant; 囟 has the sound xìn. The second character has the fanqie: 環 + 八 [huá]; the *Guangya* states: 'Hua means fine.' The *Shuowen* states: 'It means smooth and sharp; it takes 水 as semantic classifier and 骨 as phonetic').
