63.10

Fear and dread [畏憚]: The second character (dan + dan [dàn]) is in the departing tone. Zheng's gloss on the Mao commentary to the Shijing states: 'Dàn means to find difficult; it also means to fear.' The Han Shi waizhuan states: 'To hate.' The Guangya states: 'To be startled; to be angry.' The Shuowen says: 'To shun/dread; formed with "mind" [心] as radical and dān [單] as phonetic.'
