口中上腭（我各反考聲齗腭也說文闕字書或從齒作齶集訓云齗齶口中上也正從肉㖾聲㖾音同上從叩從屰屰音逆今俗從子作咢經文作嚯嚯音呼郭反乖經意今故改之不取也）。

口中上腭 ("the upper palate in the mouth": fanqie 我各 [è]. The Kaosheng says: 'The gums and palate.' It is missing in the Shuowen jiezi. In character dictionaries it is sometimes written with the tooth radical as 齶. The Jixun says: 'The gums and palate are the upper part inside the mouth.' The correct form has the flesh radical with 㖾 as phonetic; 㖾 has the same pronunciation as above, and is composed of 叩 above and 屰 below; 屰 is pronounced 逆 [nì]. Today, popular usage writes it with 子 as 咢. The sūtra text writes it as 嚯; 嚯 is fanqie 呼郭 [huò], which contradicts the sūtra's meaning; it is now corrected and rejected).
