13.12

Buse [not rough/astringent] (fanqie: shi- + -li. Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci says: 'Se means difficult.' Guo Pu's commentary on the Fangyan says: 'Se is like parsimonious.' The Shuowen says: 'Not smooth; composed of four zhi [foot/stop], two written upside down and two written upright; an associative compound.' In the sūtra text the upper part is written with two 'blade' characters, which is an error. Forms taking two zhi and the 'water' radical as 澁 are vulgar characters, not standard forms).
