16.76

Emaciated and short (瘦短: [the second character] has the fanqie d- + [g]uan [=duǎn]; the Cangjie pian says: 'Duǎn (短) means brief or short'; the Shuowen says: 'Not long'; it is formed with 'arrow' [矢] and an abbreviated dòu [豆] as phonetic; in the sūtra text it is written with 'hand' as 𢭃, which is incorrect and does not form a real character).
