63.7

If treading upon [若躡]: The second character (nian + zhe [niè]) is explained in the Guangya: 'Niè refers to what the feet tread upon.' The Fangyan states: 'To ascend.' The Cang Jie pian states: 'To step.' The Shuowen states: 'To tread; formed with "foot" [足] as radical and niè [聶] as phonetic.' 聶 has the same pronunciation as above; 蹀 is pronounced dié.
