言玷(音點毛詩云白圭之玷尚可磨斯言之玷不可為文字典說云玷缺也言之失也說文從玉占聲也)。

Flaw in speech (言玷: pronounced *dian* [diàn]; the Mao Odes say: “A flaw in a white jade tablet may yet be ground away; a flaw in these spoken words cannot be remedied.” The Wenzi dianshuo says: “玷 means a flaw or chip; a fault in speech.” The Shuowen says: “Categorized under 'jade' with 占 as phonetic”).
