55.5

姑妐 (The second character has the fanqie 燭 + 容 [zhōng]. The Erya says: 'A husband's elder brother is called 妐.' Guo [Pu's] commentary says: 'In common usage today, an elder brother is called 鍾 [zhōng]; this is merely a phonetic shift.' The Kaosheng and the Fangyan both say: 'In the Guanzhong region today, a husband's father is called 妐.' The Yupian says: 'It is sometimes written as the character 公, and is also pronounced zhōng.')
