19.21

[(臾-臼+?)/貝]客 (The upper character is pronounced gǔ. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou states: 'Transporting goods is called 𧷮 [merchant/shāng]; staying in place to sell is called [(臾-臼+?)/貝] [trader/gǔ].' Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan states: 'Stationary vending.' Zheng's commentary on the Book of Rites states: '[(臾-臼+?)/貝] means evaluating goods as dear or cheap.' The Erya states: '[(臾-臼+?)/貝] means a market.' The Baihu tong states: '[(臾-臼+?)/貝] means firm [固]; holding goods firmly and awaiting the people's arrival to seek profit.' The Gujin zhengzi states: 'Stationary selling and vending. It takes radical 貝 with [臾-臼+?] as phonetic'; [臾-臼+?] is pronounced gǔ. The Shuowen jiezi states: '[(臾-臼+?)/貝] derives from a person concealing themselves; the left and right represent the form of concealment.' In the sūtra text it is written as 估, which is incorrect).
