75.117

機微(既希反孔注尚書云機亦微也今字書多不從木單作幾也下尾非反經文作微非也正作[敲-高+耑]不從人也)。

Subtle trigger (機微) (fanqie: 既希 [jī]). Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "機 also means subtle." Nowadays, character dictionaries mostly omit the wood radical [木] and write simply 幾. Lower: fanqie 尾非 [wēi]; the sūtra writes 微, which is incorrect; the correct form is [敲-高+耑], not taking the human radical [亻].)
