87.53

跬步（上窺癸反禮記云君子跬步不敢忘也方言半步為跬說文從足圭聲）。

跬步 Half step: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 窺 + 癸. The Book of Rites says: 'The gentleman does not dare to forget even for a single step.' The Fangyan says: 'Half a pace is a kui (跬).' The Shuowen says it takes the foot radical (足) and 圭 for phonetic.
