5.192

Yawning (欠㰦: the second character has the sound 去. The Picang states: "Qianqu (欠㰦) means opening the mouth wide." The sūtra text writes it with the radical 口 as 呿. The Guiyuan zhucong states: "呿 is the sound of sleeping." The Yunquan states: "呿 is the sound of slumber." This is not the meaning here; it should properly be changed to have the radical 欠, written as 㰦. Note that both characters refer to expelling breath; interchangeable usage is also acceptable).
