Widowers and widows (鰥寡: the first [character] is *k(wa)* + *ng(wan)* in fanqie. The Liji says: 'An old man without a wife is called 鱞.' The Shangshu says: 'There is a widower below,' referring to Shun's being of mature age without a household. It derives from 魚 with 𥄳, pronounced *tà*. The second [character], 寡, is pronounced *k(wan)* + *w(a)* in fanqie. The Kaosheng says: 'Solitary; 寡 is the designation for a woman without a husband.' The lower part derives from 分.)
