惡癘 (Severe leprosy: [癘 has] the fanqie 力滯 [lì]. Zheng’s commentary on the Zhouli says: “Disharmony of pestilential qi turning into disease.” Guo Pu’s commentary on the Shanhaijing says: “Malignant sore.” It also has the fanqie 盧大 [lài]. Dictionaries state that it is the disease of great wind [leprosy]. The popular form 癩 is non-standard. The Shuowen says: “Malignant disease.” It is composed of the semantic 疒 (sound of 女厄 [nè]) and the abbreviated phonetic 萬. There is also a form with 𠂆 (sound 罕 [hǎn]) written 厲, whose semantic gloss and usage are distinct, and not this meaning.)
