53.65

To seize (搦取: the first character is nǚ + è fanqie. The Shenglei says: "搦 means to catch." The Shuowen says: "To press down; it takes the radical 手 and has 弱 as phonetic." In the previous sound-and-meaning commentary it was pronounced nǚ + gé fanqie, which is merely a regional dialect pronunciation, not the standard pronunciation).
