4.75

Dazzling and radiant (晃燿: the upper character [晃] is pronounced *h[uang]* + *[g]uang* [huǎng]. The *Guangya* says: "Brilliance." The *Kaosheng* says: "Sunlight." It is also written 晄. The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: "Bright." It is classified under sun (日) with *guang* (光) phonetic. The lower character [燿] is pronounced *y[ao]* + *[zh]ao* [yào]. The *Guangya* says: "*Yao* means to shine." The *Yunying* says: "Radiant light." It is also written 曜, which is also acceptable. The *Shuowen [jiezi]* has it classified under fire (火) as 燿; writing it with light (光) as 耀 is a vulgar character, not the standard form).
