36.48

蟲窠: The first character has the fanqie zhu + rong (chóng). The scripture writes it as 虫, which is a vulgar scribal error. The second character has the fanqie ku + he (kē). The *Shuowen* says: 'Ke means hollow; in a hole it is called ke (burrow), on a tree it is called chao (nest); composed of the 'hole' (穴) semantic and guo (果) phonetic.'
