Xuànyì 眩瞖 (The upper character is fanqie 玄絹 [xuàn]. The Cangjie pian says: 'unclear vision'. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'the eyes lacking a fixed focus; with radical mù 目 and xuán 玄 phonetic'. The lower character is fanqie 伊計 [yì]. The Kaosheng says: 'a cataract of the eye'. The Yunying says: 'to obscure'. The Guangya says: 'to obstruct'. It is a phono-semantic character with radical mù 目. In the sūtra text, it is written with radical yǔ 羽 as 翳, which is not the primary character and departs from its meaning).
