3.48

喪失 (*sāng* + *zàng* [fanqie: sàng]; the Kaosheng says: "'Sàng' means to lose." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It means to perish; derived from 'kū' (to weep), where 'kū' is *kǔ* + *gǔ* [fanqie], and with 'wáng' as phonetic." In sūtras it is written as 喪 or as [〦/(口*口)/(┌/┌/一)], both of which are corruptions. The lower character 'shī': the Shuowen jiezi says: "'Shī' means to let go; derived from 'shǒu' (hand) and 'yǐ' (乙)." The clerical script writes it as 失, which is corrupt).
