11.64

蓊欝 (The first character has the fanqie wū-kǒng [wěng]. The Gujin zhengzi says: "Wěng means great; it means splendid; it means luxuriant." The Guiyuan zhucóng says: "The appearance of luxuriant vegetation; it is formed from [the semantic component] 草 (grass) and takes 翁 as its phonetic component." The second character has the fanqie wēi-lǜ [yù]; it is a popular character. The Kaosheng says: "Yù means concealed (with the fanqie wēi-wěi)." The Erya says: "Yù means vapor rising." The Guiyuan zhucóng says: "The appearance of vapor densely rising." The Guangya says: "Yù means secluded; this refers to the dense and secluded appearance of trees." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Trees growing in a cluster." Note that in the Shuowen jiezi the orthodox form of yù is formed from 林, [午/止] (with the fanqie fǔ-gǒu), 勹 (pronounced bāo), 鬯 (with the fanqie chǒu-liàng), and 彡 (pronounced shān), making 鬱. The Zilin and sūtra texts write it with 四, 艮, and 寸 as 欝, the origin of which is not clear; both are recorded here).
