揣文(上初委反郭璞注方言云揣度成也左傳云揣高卑之度說文云揣量也從手耑聲耑知桓反也)。

揣文 [conjecturing the text]: The first character is read with the fanqie chu + wei (chuǎi). Guo Pu's commentary on the Fangyan says: 'Chuǎi means to deliberate and accomplish.' The Zuozhuan has: 'Measuring the degree of height and lowliness.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Chuǎi means to measure. It is composed of the [semantic] radical 'hand' (手) and the sound zhuān (耑); zhuān is pronounced zhuan + huan.'
