Yǎnjiǎn 偃蹇 (The upper character is fanqie 焉㦥 [yǎn]. The lower character is fanqie 居偃 [jiǎn]. Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: 'yǎnjiǎn 偃蹇 means arrogant'. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'yǎn 偃 means lying stiffly on the back; with radical rén 人 and yǎn 匽 phonetic. Jiǎn 蹇 has radical zú 足 and the abbreviated phonetic jiǎn 謇; yǎn 匽 has the same sound as above').
