Can be verified (可徵: [徵 has] the fanqie sound zhi-ling [zhēng]. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Rites of Zhou states: 'Zheng means to summon; clear.' The Shenglei states: 'To demand; to seek.' Du Yu's commentary on the Zuo Tradition states: 'To verify.' The Shuowen states: 'An image.' Examining matters, that which has an image that can be verified is called zheng. It derives from ren (壬) with the abbreviated sound of wei (微). Ren has the fanqie sound ti-ying [tǐng]).
