60.148

Wrist-joint (拳𢯲; the first character is fanqie 倦 + 員. The second character is fanqie 剜 + 換. The Shuowen says: "The joint behind the palm; it takes radical 目 and 叉; 叉 is pronounced 瓜; it also takes radical 手." Although an ancient form, it is the orthodox character. In the Vinaya text it is written with 宛 as 捥, or with radical 肉 as 腕, both of which are popular, incorrect characters).
