Shame and remorse (恥媿; [the second character is pronounced with the] fanqie guǐ + [w]èi. Du's commentary to the Zuozhuan says: “Kuì means to feel ashamed.” The Boya says: “Kuì also means shame.” The Shuowen says: “It takes nǚ ‘woman’ as semantic classifier and guǐ as phonetic.” The scripture's writing with the heart classifier xīn as 愧 is also interchangeable; writing it as 聭 or 謉 is entirely erroneous).
