6.12

四雙 ("four pairs": [fanqie] 朔牎 [shuāng]. Gu Yewang says: "Shuāng is like two." Fangyan says: "Two flying birds." Shuowen says: "Two units." It is composed of two 隹—隹 means bird—and 又; 又 means a hand. A hand holding two birds is called shuāng. In the scripture text it is written with a reversed component as 雙, which is incorrect.)
