曲僂(力矩反通俗文曲脊之傴僂春秋宋鼎銘曰一命而僂再命而傴三命而俯杜預曰府恭於傴傴恭於僂身命曲恭益加也論文作軁或作瘻並非也)。

Hunched and bent (曲僂: [僂 is] *li* and *ju* *fanqie* [= *lü*]; the *Tongsu wen* says: "A bent back is *youlü* (hunchbacked);" the tripod inscription of Song in the *Spring and Autumn Annals* says: 'At the first appointment, hunched (僂); at the second appointment, bent (傴); at the third appointment, bowed low (俯);' Du Yu says: 'Bowing low is more respectful than bending; bending is more respectful than hunching; as ranks increase, one bends one's body in respect all the more;' in the treatise text it is written as 軁 or as 瘻, both of which are incorrect).
