43.45

吸𭭇 (The first character has the fanqie 虛 + 邑. Zheng's commentary to the Shijing says: "'Xi' is like drawing in breath." The Guangya says: "To drink." Gu Yewang says: "The intake of breath." The Shuowen says: "Drawing breath inward; it derives from 口 with 及 as phonetic." The second character has the fanqie 雙 + 角. The Cangjie pian says: "'Shuo' means sucking." The Shuowen says: "To suck"; 'to suck' (吮) has the fanqie 旋 + 兖; it derives from 欠 with 束 as phonetic. The sūtra writes it as 嗍, which is incorrect).
