扞敵（上寒岸反左傳云扞衛也又云衝也考聲𧁱也說文忮也從手于聲律文從旱作捍亦通也忮音至下庭的反杜注左傳云敵對也方言同力者謂之敵也說文云仇也輩也從攴啇聲也啇音滴）。

Defend against an opponent [扞敵]: The first character (han + an [hàn]) is explained in the Zuo zhuan: 'Hàn means to defend; it also means to collide.' The Kaosheng says it means to withstand. The Shuowen says it means to oppose; formed with 'hand' [手] as radical and yú [于] as phonetic. In the Vinaya text it is written with 'drought' [旱] as 捍, which is also acceptable; 忮 is pronounced zhì. The second character (ting + di [dí]) is explained in Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan: 'Dí means counterpart/opponent.' The Fangyan says: 'Those of equal strength are called dí.' The Shuowen states: 'An enemy; an equal; formed with "tap/strike" [攴] as radical and dí [啇] as phonetic.' 啇 is pronounced dī.
