57.14

Groggy and bewildered (𧄼瞢): The upper character is pronounced teng; the lower character is mo plus beng fan. The Cang Jie pian says: '𧄼瞢 is the appearance of just rising from sleep; also groggy and dazed.' The Commentary on the Mao Odes says: 'Mengmeng (瞢瞢) is the appearance of confused spirits.' The upper character takes deng (登) and an abbreviated meng (夢); the lower character takes mu (目) and also an abbreviated meng (夢). The scripture writes it taking "foot" (足) as deng (蹬), which is an erroneous usage and not the original character.
