掉戲 (The upper character is pronounced diao4 [ting-yao fan]. The Guangya says: '掉 means to shake.' In colloquial speech, it means to rock/sway. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Formed from "hand" (手) with an abbreviation of 卓 as phonetic.' The lower character is pronounced xi4 [xi-yi fan]. The Mao Commentary on the Book of Odes says: '戲 means leisurely recreation.' The Erya says: '戲 means playful banter.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Formed from "dagger-axe" (戈) with 䖒 as phonetic.' 䖒 is pronounced xi1, formed from 虍 and 豆. The sūtra text writes 戱 with 虛 and 戈, which is incorrect. 虍 is pronounced hu1).
