葷辛 Pungent roots (the first character is xun + yun [hūn]; the Shenglei says: "'Hun' refers to wild garlic." Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "Pungent roots are used to ward off noxious evil." The Wenzidian shuo says: "Foul-smelling plants; [the character] derives from 'grass' with 'jun' phonetic. The Vinaya text incorrectly writes it with 'xun' as 薰; suan has the sound suàn").
