To glance sidelong (顧眄): For the second character, the fanqie is 眠 (m-) plus 遍 (-ian). The Fangyan states that in the regions between Qin and Jin, 'to look' is called 眄. The Shuowen jiezi states that 眄 means to look askance; it is formed with the eye radical (目) and 丐 as the phonetic element, with 丐 having the same pronunciation as above.
