加趺(古遐反尒疋加重也今取其義謂交足坐也經中或作結交趺坐是也山東言甲趺江南言跘跨跘音平患反跨口瓜反有從足作跏文字所無者也)。

加趺 [cross-legged] (pronounced with the fanqie 古遐 [g- + -ia = jia]: The Erya states: “Jia (加) means to superimpose.” Here the meaning is taken to denote sitting with crossed legs. In the scriptures it is also written as “sitting cross-legged” (結交趺坐). In Shandong they call it jiāfū (甲趺); south of the Yangtze they call it pánkuà (跘跨; pan is pronounced with the fanqie 平患 [p- + -uan = pan], and kua with 口瓜 [k- + -ua = kua]). Some write it with the 足 [foot] radical as 跏, but this does not exist in standard dictionaries).
