Parasol and canopy (繖葢; the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie sū + [l]ǎn. Gu Yewang says: “A sǎn is a canopy.” The Hanshu says: “At that time it rained heavily, and His Majesty rode holding a parasol canopy.” The Shuowen says: “It takes mì ‘silk’ as semantic classifier and sǎn as phonetic.” The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie gāi + [h]ài. The Shuowen says: “Bitter. It takes cǎo ‘grass’ as semantic classifier and hé as phonetic.” Hé is pronounced hé; it takes dà and xuè as components. The scripture's writing it with yáng ‘sheep’ as 盖 is a vulgar character).
