27.102

Soft and supple (churouruan): (er + yan [ruǎn]. The Guangya says: "Rouruan means weak." The Tongsuwen says: "When a thing is soft it is called ruan." The Hanshu says: "Ruan means incapable of bearing a burden." The popular form 軟 is incorrect. The lower ruan [耎] is used interchangeably; some write 𣽈, which is incorrect).
