17.27

𰚫氂 (the first character has the fanqie: 號 + 高; the second character has the fanqie: 力 + 知; Wang Yi's commentary on the Chu ci says: "毫 is a long, pointed, stiff hair." Examining the Jiuzhang suanshu, it states: "Generally, the origin of linear measurement begins at a hū (忽); ten hū make a sī (絲); ten sī make a háo (𰚫/毫); ten háo make a lí (𣯛/氂)." Both characters are classified under hair (毛) and are phono-semantic characters).
