Falling to be born (墜生): Has the fanqie *zhí* + *lèi* (墜). The *Erya* says: '*Zhuì* means to fall.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'Falling to the earth from a height. Derived from 阜 with [隊-(阿-可)] as phonetic; [隊-(阿-可)] is pronounced *suì*.' The scripture writes it with 土 as 墜, which is also acceptable.
