膏肓（上告刀反下音慌光反杜注左傳云病在心下曰膏在胷膈曰肓也說文云膏肓二字並從肉高亾皆聲膈音隔也）。

Gaohuang [incurable illness] (膏肓; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 告刀, and the second has the fanqie sound 慌光. Du [Yu]'s commentary to the Zuozhuan says: "A disease located below the heart is called gao; located above the diaphragm it is called huang." The Shuowen says: "The two characters 膏 and 肓 both take the radical 肉, with 高 and 亾 both as phonetic." The character 膈 is sounded 隔).
