牆塹 Walls and moats: (The first character has the fanqie 匠羊 [qiáng]. The Kaosheng says: "A low wall." The Shuowen says: "A wall or screen." It takes 嗇 as semantic and 爿 as phonetic; it is also written 牆. In the sūtra text, it is written with 土 as 墻, which is incorrect. The second character has the fanqie 僉艷 [qiàn]. The Yunying says: "A small trench." I note that a moat is a ditch around a garden or estate. The Shuowen says it takes 土 as semantic and 斬 as phonetic; writing it with 斬 as 塹 is also acceptable).
