崖隒(上五街反蒼頡篇云崖山高邊也下嚴撿反讀與儼同音郭璞注爾雅云隒謂山形如纍甑也廣雅云隒即欠腹崖也說文云隒崖也從𨸏兼聲也)。

Cliff and precipice (崖隒: the first character is pronounced *wu* + *jie* [yá]. The *Cang Jie pian* says: '崖 means the high edge of a mountain.' The second character is pronounced *yan* + *jian* [yǎn], read identically with 儼. Guo Pu's commentary on the *Erya* says: '隒 describes the shape of a mountain resembling stacked earthen steamers.' The *Guangya* says: '隒 is an overhanging cliff with a hollowed belly.' The *Shuowen jiezi* says: '隒 means a cliff; it is formed from the "mound" radical (𨸏) with *jian* (兼) as the phonetic component.').
