16.102

尫狂 (fanqie: 枉 + 王. The orthodox form originally was 尤, a pictograph. Popular modern usage adds 王 to form 尫, a phono-semantic character. *Yunquan* states: '尫 means weak.' *Tongsu wen* states: 'Short and small is called 尫.' *Shuowen jiezi* states: 'Lame with crooked shins.' The popular pronunciation as fanqie: 鳥 + 黃 is a corrupted phonological shift).
