殄滅: The first character is pronounced 亭 + 典 fanqie. Kong [Anguo]’s commentary on the Shangshu says: “殄 means to extinguish.” Zheng [Xuan]’s commentary on the Zhouli says: “It means distress.” The Erya and Shuowen both say: “It means to exhaust.” It is formed from 歹 with 㐱 as phonetic. 歹 is pronounced like 殘, and 㐱 is pronounced like 軫. In the sūtra text it is written with 爾, which is incorrect. The second character is pronounced 綿 + 結 fanqie. The Kaosheng says: “To perish.” The Yunquan says: “To dissipate.” The Shuowen says: “To exhaust. It is formed from 水, 戌, and 火; sometimes written as [威-女+少]; an ideogram.”
