51.55

"Galloping relays" (The first character has the fanqie: 丑 + 領 [chěng]. The Guangya says: '騁 means to run.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'To gallop straight forward.' It derives from the horse radical with 甹 as phonetic. 甹 has the fanqie: 匹 + 丁 [pīng]. The second character has the fanqie: 人 + 質 [rì]. Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: '馹 is a courier carriage.' Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'The general name for courier carriages and relay horses.' The Shuowen jiezi glosses it identically; it derives from the horse radical with 日 as phonetic).
