Awaiting the time (俟時: pronounced [事 + 滓] s-ì [sì], in the rising tone; a vulgar character commonly used in current times. The correct form derives from 立, written 竢. The Shuowen derives it from 來, written 𥏳. The Yunquan says: "俟 (si) means to await." The Kaosheng says: "To wait for someone to come." The vulgar form deriving from 人, written 俟, is also accepted).
