53.85

Irrigating the soil (𣵽壤: the first character is wū + gǔ fanqie. The Shuowen says: "To irrigate and water; it takes the radical 水 and has 芺 as phonetic." 芺 is pronounced yāng + jiāo fanqie; in the sūtra text written as 妖, which is a vulgar character. For the second character 壤, the Shuowen gives róu + zhǎng fanqie. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "[Soil] without clods is called 壞." The Shuowen says: "Soft soil; it takes the radical 土 and has 襄 as phonetic").
