4.99

頟廣 [broad forehead] (The first character has the fanqie [雅+格] é. Writing it with 'guest' as 額 is a vulgar character. The Fangyan says: é is the brow. The Shiming says: people of Youzhou call the forehead è; today in Wu dialects south of the Yangtze they pronounce forehead as yà; these are all dialectal corruptions of border regions. The Shuowen says: it is composed of 'head' with an abbreviated gé phonetic).
