61.23

噴嚏(上普悶反廣雅噴即嚏也蒼頡篇噴吒也下丁計反考聲云氣奔鼻而嚏也說文鼓鼻而氣悟解曰噴嚏並從口形聲字也)。

To sneeze (噴嚏): For the first character, the fanqie is 普 (p-) plus 悶 (-un); the Guangya states that 噴 means to sneeze (嚏). The Cang Jie pian states that 噴 means to puff out (吒). For the second character, the fanqie is 丁 (d-) plus 計 (-ei); the Kaosheng says that it means air rushing through the nose and sneezing. The Shuowen jiezi says that the blowing of the nose and venting of breath with understanding and relief is called 噴嚏. Both are formed with the mouth radical (口) and are phonetic-ideographic characters.
