35.56

Coughing (The first character is kāi + ài fanqie. The Shuowen says: 'Counter-flow of breath.' It takes 'yawn' and hài. In the sūtra text it is written with 'mouth' as 咳, pronounced hái, meaning a child's laugh, which is not this meaning. The second character is sǒu + zòu fanqie. The Kaosheng says: 'Breath rushing against the throat.' In the sūtra it is also written with 'mouth' as 嗽, which is a vulgar usage and not the orthodox form).
