41.45

The naked (裸者: for the first character, fanqie [h- + w- =] huà-wǎ; pronounced thus to avoid a vulgar taboo, its original pronunciation being láng-guǒ fanqie. The Zuozhuan states: "Observed him bathing naked (倮)." Gu Yewang states: "The naked (裸) are those who strip off their clothing to expose their bare flesh." The Shuowen jiezi has it written with the clothing radical as 裸; character dictionaries have it written with the body radical as 躶; the Yupian has it written with the person radical as 倮; all three forms are interchangeable).
