55.102

𮚐贈 ('funerary gifts'): For the first character, the fanqie is [f- + u >] fū and [f- + eng >] fèng. It refers to items sent to assist in mourning; chariots and horses [sent for mourning] are called 𮚐. The Lesser Oya says: 'When starving to death, giving aid is called 𮚐.' The Baihu tong says: '𮚐 means rushing (fù); that by which one rushes to assist.' The second character has the fanqie [z- + ai >] zài and [d- + eng >] dèng. Valued goods [given] are called 贈; they are that by which one assists the living, sees off the dead, cherishes remembrance, and honours the end. 贈 means to send off; it also means to increase.
