顧吝（上古庫反鄭玄箋毛詩云迴首曰顧又云顧猶視也又云顧念也從頁雇聲頁音頡雇音固下力陣反孔安國注尚書云𠫤惜也方言曰貪而不施謂之𠫤說文正體作吝吝恨也從口文聲也或作恡俗字也或作𰐪吝並古字也）。

Regard and stinginess (顧吝): The upper character has the fanqie gu + ku (gù). Zheng Xuan's subcommentary to the Mao Shijing says: ‘Turning the head around is called gù.’ It also says: ‘Gù is like looking.’ It also says: ‘Gù means to care for.’ It takes “head” (頁) with gù (雇) as phonetic. 頁 has the fanqie xie + jie (xié); 雇 has the fanqie gu + ku (gù). The lower character has the fanqie li + zhen (lìn). Kong Anguo's commentary on the Shangshu says: ‘Lìn means to begrudge.’ The Fangyan says: ‘Greedy and unwilling to bestow is called lìn.’ The Shuowen says the standard form is written as 吝: ‘Lìn means resentment; it takes “mouth” (口) with wén (文) as phonetic.’ It is also written as 恡, which is a popular form; or as 𰐪 or 吝, which are both ancient characters.
