革屣 The Mao Shi Commentary says: "革 means hide/leather." The second character is pronounced ʂ- + -ɨ / -iX [xǐ]. The Kaosheng says: "Shoes that do not cover the heel." It is also written 𩌦 or 縰; all three forms are derived from 徙 (pronounced sǐ). The sūtra's "leather sandals" (géxǐ) are leather shoes of the Western Brahmins; they resemble the half-shoes and straw sandals of this land, but being made of leather and straw, their appearance is completely different.
