17.16

傀琦 (the first character has the fanqie: 古 + 迥; the Jixun says: "It means strong and large." The Guiyuan zhucong says: "Luxuriant." 傀琦 means a fine, beautiful appearance. The Shuowen says: "It means extraordinary. It is classified under person (人) and takes 鬼 abbreviated as phonetic." In the sūtra it is written with jade (玉) as 瑰, which is not suitable for this use. The second character has the sound 奇; the Picang says: "瑰璋 are precious and extraordinary gems." The Gujin zhengzi classifies it under jade (玉) with 奇 as phonetic).
