57.9

Pain and itch (痛蛘): [The second character is] yang plus jiang fan. The Liji says: 'Though itching, one dares not scratch.' The Kaosheng says: 'Sores; having bugs within sores.' The Shuowen says: 'Scabies and itching; taking "insect" (虫), with yang (羊) for sound.' The scripture writes itch taking "illness" (疒) as yang (痒), which denotes disease and is not the scripture's intended meaning.
