60.45

Tīdèng 梯隥 (ladders and steps; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie tǐ + dī. Jia [Kui's] commentary to the Guoyu says: 'Tī means steps; or steps made of bamboo and wood used to ascend high places.' The second character is pronounced with the fanqie dēng + dèng. The Jixun says: 'Terraced tiers of earth are called dèng.' In the scripture it derives from shān 山, written as 嶝, which is incorrect).
