Zongju 㭰距 (now written as 𠲿, identical, [pronounced with the] fanqie 子累 [zǐ + lèi/*tziě/zǐ]. The Guangya says: 'Zong 㭰 means mouth.' Character dictionaries say: 'A bird's bill; sometimes written as 觜.' In the treatise text it is written as 𭉨; searching the various scriptures and histories, there is no such character, except in Fu Yi's Seven Manifestations, which says: '...𭉨-ing clay and drinking from springs,' where it is written with this character, pronounced with the fanqie 徐耎 [xú + ruǎn/*ziuæn/ruǎn]; 𭉨 is not the correct sense of the character. For ju 距, the ancient script has the two identical forms 詎 and 岠, with the two fanqie readings 居呂 [jū + lǚ/*kio/jǔ] and 渠呂 [qú + lǚ/*gio/jù]. The Shuowen says: 'The spur of a rooster's foot').
