寙墮 "Indolent and negligent" (fanqie: 余乳 [yǔ]. The Erya says: "寙 means fatigued." Guo Pu says: "Those who suffer hardships often become indolent and slack; it also means lazy." It means that a lazy person cannot lift themselves up, like a melon or gourd on the ground, hence the character is composed with 瓜 ('melon'). Moreover, a lazy person always remains in the room, hence it is composed with 穴 ('cave/dwelling'). In the treatise, it is sometimes written with the character 嬾 ['lazy']).
