囹圄(上歷丁反下魚舉文鄭注禮記囹圄所以禁守繫者若今之別獄也說文守也並從囗囗音韋)。

Prison (囹圄: the upper character has the fanqie lì + dīng; the lower has the fanqie yú + jǔ. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: 'A prison (囹圄) is that by which those who are bound are kept in custody, like modern detention prisons.' The Shuowen says: 'To keep guard; both are derived from 囗 [enclosure]; 囗 has the sound wéi').
