琦璝(上渠冝反埤蒼云琦珍美也亦瑋也說文從王奇聲下骨迴反字書云璝石次玉也埤蒼珍琦也說文琦圓好者從玉䝿聲經作璝俗字也亦作瓌又作瑰也)。

琦璝 [qíguī, rare and precious gems]: the first character is pronounced 渠 + 冝 fanqie. The Picang says: '琦 means precious and fine; it also means exceptional.' The Shuowen states that it takes the jade radical (王) with qí (奇) providing the sound. The second character is pronounced 骨 + 迴 fanqie. The Zishu says: '璝 is a stone inferior to jade.' The Picang says: 'Precious and fine gem.' The Shuowen says: 'Fine, round, precious jade.' It takes the jade radical (玉) with guì (䝿) providing the sound. In the sūtra it is written as 璝, which is a vulgar character; it is also written as 瓌, and also as 瑰.
