5.26

Phlegm and pus (痰膿): Read with the fanqie 徒 + 南. A character dictionary says: '痰 is an affliction of the chest.' The sūtra writes it with 水 as 淡, which means tasteless and is furthermore in the falling tone. The second character is read with the fanqie 奴 + 工. The Shuowen says: 'Blood erupted from carbuncles and ulcers. It derives from 肉 with 農 providing the phonetic.' Written in the sūtra as 淡 does not suit the meaning of the sūtra.
