60.109

Begging for alms (the second character is gài in fanqie from gāi and ài; Gu Yewang states that gài also means to beg; the Kaosheng says it means to seek; the Gujin zhengzi states: when a person has lost their property, they beg; hence the Shuowen has it take the person and perish radicals; it is an ideogrammic compound; the first is an ancient-modern character variant).
