坑阱(上客耕反蒼頡篇云坑壑也考聲云坑坎也文字典說云壍也從土亢聲亢音剛下情郢反廣疋云阱亦坑也考聲云穿地陷獸也說文從𨸏井聲論文作穽俗用字也或作弊汬古字也)。

Pits and trenches 坑阱 (The first character has the fanqie 客耕 [kēng]. The Cangjiepian says: 'Keng means a ravine.' The Kaosheng says: 'Keng means a pit.' The Wenzidian shuo states: 'A moat.' It is composed of "earth" (土) with "kang" (亢) phonetic. Kang is pronounced gāng. The second character has the fanqie 情郢 [jǐng]. The Guangya says: 'Jing is also a pit.' The Kaosheng says: 'To dig into the ground to trap beasts.' The Shuowen states: 'It is composed of "mound" (𨸏) with "jing" (井) phonetic.' In the treatise it is written as 穽, which is a popular variant; it is also written as 弊 or 汬, which are ancient variants.)
