46.150

Bore through and crawl over walls (穿窬: [for 窬], yu and zhu fan; the Sancang says: 'Yu is a small aperture beside a gate'; the Shuowen jiezi says: 'A water aperture bored beside a gate'; as in Dongfang Shuo's 'crawling through wall-holes instead of taking the path'; it is also pronounced tu and gou fan; the Book of Rites says: 'Wicker gates and jade-tablet-shaped hole-windows', Zheng Xuan says: 'Yu is a wall-hole beside a gate; pierced through the wall, its shape resembles a jade tablet'; the Treatise writes 踰, meaning to leap over or cross; 踰 is not the standard character).
