29.110

木膠 (*mùjiāo*, plant gum; [the second character is] pronounced *jiāo*. Gu Yewang says: "Glue is that by which things are joined so as to make them adhere to one another." Zheng's commentary on the *Liji* says: "Glue refers to boiling skin or grass to make them dissolve and congeal; there are many kinds, whether yellow, black, white, or red, or boiling tree bark and shoots to make it." The *Shuowen* says: "Viscous; made from hide, hence it is composed of 肉 with 翏 as phonetic." The sound of 翏 has the fanqie 力救 [*lì* + *jiù*]).
