垓佛土 (The upper character is fanqie g[ai] + [ai]. Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: '垓 is a number.' Xu Shuzhong's [Xu Shen's] commentary on the Huainanzi says: 'The nine gais are the nine heavens.' The Kaosheng says: 'A boundary or extremity; the eight gais are the eight extremities.' The Fengsu tong says: 'Ten thousands are a wan; ten wans are a yi; ten yis are a zhao; ten zhaos are a jing; ten jings are a gai; this refers to an extremely large number.' The Shuowen says: 'It derives from 土 with 亥 as phonetic.')
