41.5

Leading [to life] (牽𠂠: pronounced [企 + 堅] q-iān [qiān]. The Guangya says: "牽 (qian) means to pull along; it means to connect." The Shuowen says: "To pull forward. It derives from ox (牛) and 冖, with 玄 as phonetic." 冖 is pronounced [癸 + 營] q-ióng [qióng], picturing a halter for an ox. The vulgar use deriving from hand (手), written 牽, is incorrect).
