19.182

傀偉 (also written as 褒; fanqie: 古回. Sima Biao's commentary on the Zhuangzi says: '傀 means beautiful, being in full flourish.' The lower character has the fanqie 韋鬼. The Picang says: '偉 means great.' The Shuowen says: 'Extraordinary.' Both characters are formed from [the semantic component] 人 (person), with 鬼 and 韋 as their respective phonetic components. The sūtra manuscript writes them with 玉 (jade) as 瑰瑋, which is also interchangeably used).
