Window aperture (䆫 is a vulgar character; properly written as 牎; the Zishu says: 'Assisting doors to provide light'; it has the fanqie 楚江 [chǔ + jiāng]; the Shuowen says: 'In a wall it is called 牖; in a roof it is called 囱, an ancient pictograph'; in clerical script today it is commonly written as 窓; it also means an open aperture; the Kaosheng says: 'The windows at the two ends of modern houses'; the second character has the fanqie 鄉逆 [xiāng + nì]; it takes 白 with 小 above and below; in the sūtra, written with 巢 as 隟, which is incorrect).
