3.84

瘖瘂 (the upper character is *yǐn* + *jīn* [fanqie: yīn]; the Shuowen jiezi says: "Unable to speak; 'yīn' is like having no voice." The lower character is *wū* + *jiǎ* [fanqie: yǎ]; already explained above in Fascicle 1; both are derived from the radical 'chuáng' (疒), which is *nǚ* + *è* [fanqie]. Writing it with 'kǒu' (mouth) as 啞 is incorrect).
