55.71

居溼 ('lying in the wet [spot]'): The first character has the fanqie [j- + u >] jǔ and [y- + u >] yú. The second character has the fanqie [sh- + en >] shēn and [r- + u >] rù. Gu Yewang says: '溼 is like moistening.' The Shuowen says: 'Dark and wet. Composed of 水 and 一; 一 represents covering; when there is water covered above, it is called 溼. It also takes the abbreviated 㬎 as phonetic; it is a derivative character.' The sūtra writes 濕, which is a vulgar character and incorrect.
