窳墯(余乳反爾疋寙勞也郭璞曰勞苦者多墯窳也承慶言懶人不能自起如瓜瓠在地不能自立故字從瓜又懶人恒在室中故從穴也)。

窳墯 [lazy and indolent] (Pronounced with the fanqie 余乳 [yǔ]. The Erya states: "寙 means toil." Guo Pu says: "Those who toil and suffer are often indolent and lazy (墯窳)." Chengqing says: "A lazy person cannot get up on his own, just as melons and gourds on the ground cannot stand on their own; hence the graph takes 瓜 [melon]. Furthermore, a lazy person constantly stays inside his room; hence it takes 穴 [cave/dwelling]").
