Wěiyè 煒[焊-干+(共-八+(傘-(企-止)))] (The upper character is fanqie 韋鬼 [wěi]. The Mao-school commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: 'wěi 煒 is the appearance of bright red'. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'wěi means brilliant red; with radical huǒ 火 and wéi 違 phonetic'. The lower character is fanqie 央業 [yè]. The Shuowen jiezi writes it as yè 燁, also meaning brilliant; with radical huǒ 火 and [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] phonetic. The Classic of Poetry says: 'Flashes of lightning flare brightly'. In the sūtra text, it is written with huā 華 as [膜-旲+((傘-(企-止))-┬+干)], a clerical script character; [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] has the same pronunciation as above).
