20.172

Deaf (聾聵: the ancient forms are 䫭 and 聵, now written 聵 or 𦗿, pronounced kui [niu + kuai fan]. The Guoyu states: 'The 聵 cannot be made to hear.' Jia Kui states: 'One who is born deaf is called 聵.' Another source says: 'Deaf and lacking understanding is called 聵.' In the sūtra text it is written with flesh (肉) as 膭, pronounced dui [hu + dui fan], meaning fat; 膭 is not the meaning intended by the sūtra).
