6.128

香囊: Pronounced 乃 + 當 fanqie. The Kaosheng says: “An incense pouch.” We consider that an incense pouch is a spherical vessel for burning incense, constructed with ingenious mechanism such that it rotates without capsizing, keeping the interior constantly level. The Jixun says: “A pouch with a bottom.” The Shuowen says: “It is formed from 𱔞 with a reduced form of 㯻, and 𱔞 is also phonetic.” 𱔞 is pronounced like 儜; 㯻 is pronounced 渾 + 悶 fanqie.
