Encroach and harm (侵害: the first character is pronounced [戚 + 淫] q-īn [qīn]. The Cangjie pian says: "侵 (qin) means to violate." The Shuowen says: "Gradual. It derives from 人, 帚, and 又; 又 is the hand. Holding a broom in hand as if advancing while sweeping is called 侵." Nowadays it is abbreviated as 侵略 [encroachment]. The second character is pronounced [何 + 大] h-ài [hài]. The Cangjie pian says: "害 (hai) means to injure." The Shuowen says: "To wound. It derives from 宀 and 口, meaning that words arise from within the home; with a reduced form of 丰 as phonetic." The sūtra writes 害, which is a vulgar character. 丰 is pronounced 害, being the ancient character).
