18.129

Sensual desire (婬慾: the first character has the fanqie y[ǔ] + [zh]ēn; the Zitong says: "Private licentiousness." The Guangya says: "Yin (婬) means play." Wang's commentary on the Chuci says: "Roam." The Shuowen agrees with the Zitong; it has the female radical and the phonetic yin (㸒); 㸒 has the same sound as above; it is composed of claw and ren (壬). The canonical text writes it with the water radical as 淫, which is incorrect. The second character has the fanqie r[óng] + [z]ú; the Kaosheng says: "That which the heart inclines toward"; it has the heart radical).
