19.174

瞚頃 (fanqie: 輸閏). The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'Ten thousand generations are like a single blink (瞚).' The Shuowen says: 'It refers to the eyes opening and closing, fluttering repeatedly.' It is formed from [the semantic component] 目 (eye) and 寅 as the phonetic component; it is also written as 瞬. The sūtra text writes 眴, which is not correct in meaning.
