13.63

灰燼 (Ashes and embers: [jin has] the fanqie 辛進. The Fangyan states: 'From the Pass westward, between Qin and Jin, unconsumed cooking firewood is called jin.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Jin refers to the wood left over by fire. Jin is formed with yu 聿 and huo 火.' Today writing it commonly as 燼 [with 盡] is an error).
