12.90

荷擔 The first character is pronounced hé; the second is pronounced t- + -ɑm [dān]. The Shuowen jiezi writes both with "person" as 何 and 儋 (pronounced d- + -u / -k- + -ɑm [dān]). The Yupian says: "To bear or carry a burden is 儋何." In the present sūtra text, 荷 is written with "grass" and 檐 with "hand," which are popular usages rather than the original characters. The pronunciation hè is a phonetic shift.
