51.64

"To moor square" (Fanqie: 宜 + 倚 [yǐ]; also pronounced yí. Ru Chun's commentary on the Shiji says: 'Southerners refer to aligning a boat toward the shore as 檥.' Meng Kang's commentary says: 'To draw near; bringing the boat to shore.' Some write it as 艤, which is the same. The Shuowen jiezi says it derives from the wood radical with 義 as phonetic).
