11.74

趾步 (With the fanqie zhī-ěr [zhǐ]. Du Yu's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: "Zhǐ means foot." The Erya says the same. For the second character, 步, the Shuowen jiezi says: "To walk on foot; formed from 止 and 𱤻 (with the fanqie tā-wèi), two feet placed back to back, which forms the character 步." Popular usage nowadays puts 少 below 止, which is corrupt and abbreviated).
