59.62

Wound aperture (創孔; in ancient script 戧 and 刃 are two forms, now written 創, both fanqie: 初 + 良 [chuāng]; the Shuowen says: "創 means a wound"; the Liji says: "If there is a wound on the head, one washes the hair", which exemplifies this; also fanqie: 楚 + 亮 [chuàng], which means beginning, not the intended meaning here; nowadays it is commonly written 瘡, which is a recent character).
