53.44

樓櫓 (first character, fanqie: 魯 + 侯 [lóu]; second character, fanqie: 盧 + 覩 [lǔ]. The Shuowen jiezi states: 'A 樓 is a multi-story building; a 櫓 is a large shield.' The Kaosheng states: 'Both are used atop city walls to resist in battle.' Both characters have the radical 木 and are phono-semantic characters. The character 魯 consists of 魚 and 白; the vulgar form with 曰 is incorrect.)
