"Dark dust-storm" (Fanqie: 買 + 排 [mái]. The Erya says: 'Wind with falling soil is called mái.' The commentary to the Shijing says: 'Mái is raining dust.' The Shuowen jiezi writes it with the beast (豸) radical as 霾, which is the standard form. The treatise writes it with the dog (犬) radical as 霾, which is a vulgar character. 豸 has the fanqie: 池 + 爾 [chí]).
