68.156

嘗啜（上音常論語云君賜食必正席先嘗之杜注左傳云嘗試也說文從旨尚聲論從口作𭋌非也下川爇反說文啜亦嘗也從口叕聲叕音陟劣反）。

Tasting and sipping (嘗啜): the first character has the pronunciation of 常. The Analects says: 'When the ruler bestowed food, he would surely straighten his mat and taste it first.' Du's Commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: 'To try.' The Shuowen says: 'It takes the radical 旨 and 尚 is phonetic.' In the treatise it is written with the radical 口 as 𭋌, which is incorrect. The second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 川 + 爇. The Shuowen says: 'Chuò also means to taste; it takes the radical 口 (mouth) and 叕 is phonetic. 叕 has the fanqie 陟 + 劣.'
