Carious teeth (qǔ in fanqie from qū and yǔ; the Kaosheng states that it means having worms in the teeth; according to the meaning in the vinaya text, the character qǔ should be written, but the current vinaya text takes the yú radical to write 齵, pronounced ǒu in fanqie from ǒu and gōu; the Cangjie pian states that it means growing double teeth; Gu Yewang states that it means teeth that are uneven; the Shuowen says teeth that are crooked; both readings are acceptable, hence preserved).
