55.74

梟磔 ('decapitating and dismembering'): The first character has the fanqie [j- + iao >] jiǎo and [y- + ao >] yáo. The Shuowen says: '[The ancient character] represents an inverted head.' Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu says: 'Cutting off the head and hanging it upside down is 梟.' The second character has the fanqie [zh- + i >] zhì and [g- + e >] gé. The Guangya says: '磔 is like spreading apart.' The Shiji says: 'Dismembered in the marketplace.' The Shuowen says: 'Composed of 石 with 桀 phonetic.' 桀 has the fanqie [j- + i >] jié and [l- + ie >] liè. The sūtra writes 梟襟, which is incorrect.
