Feces and urine (屎𡲘: the upper character is pronounced shi. The Zizhi says: excrement and feces. In the sūtra it is written with the rice signific, which is a popular character. The Shuowen jiezi says: it takes the tail (尾) signific and shi phonetic. The lower character is ni + diao fan. The Kaosheng says: the water within the belly. The Shuowen jiezi says: it takes the tail (尾) and water (水) significs. In the sūtra it is written with corpse (尸), which is an erroneous abbreviation. Both are phono-semantic characters).
