胄胤 (the first character is zhòu, fanqie 儔又 [ch- + -(y)ou]: Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: 'Zhòu means posterity.' Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu says: 'Zhòu means descendants (yìn).' The Shuowen jiezi says it also means yìn; it takes the flesh semantic and yóu (由) phonetic. The second character is yìn, fanqie 寅振 [y- + -(zh)in]: Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: 'Yìn is like an heir.' The Erya says: 'Yìn means succession.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Yìn refers to the continuous succession of descendants.' It takes the flesh semantic and bā (八); bā resembles elongation, and yāo (幺) also resembles cumulative growth).
