35.125

Dig out (掘去: fanqie [qún qū] (qun-qu / jué); the Jixun says jué means to pierce through; the Kaosheng says to sever; the meaning in the sūtra is digging out bad earth, ash, charcoal, broken tiles, gravel, rotten bones, decayed wood, and other filthy substances from the ground; the Shuowen has it under 手 with 屈 as phonetic; in the sūtra text written with 角 and 厥 as 𧤼, pronounced with the fanqie [quán yuè] (quan-yue), which is colloquial and erroneous).
