6.43

撟誑 ("to feign and deceive": [fanqie] 薑夭 [jiǎo]. Jia's commentary to the Guoyu says: "What goes against the laws of the ancient kings is called jiǎo." Jixun says: "Jiǎo means deceitful." Shuowen says: "Jiǎo means taking arbitrary power." Kaosheng says: "Deceptive." Gu Yewang says: "To make false pretenses is called jiǎo." It is composed of 手 with 喬 as the phonetic. In the scripture text it is written with 矢 as 矯, which is a vulgar usage and not the original character.)
