63.74

愚憃 Dull-witted and foolish (the first character is yu + ju [yú]; the Shuowen says: "Stupid; [the character] derives from 'heart' with 'yu' phonetic; zhuang has the same pronunciation as below." The second character is zhuo + jiang [chōng]; Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: "'Chong' refers to one born foolish and dull, like an ignorant youth." The Kaosheng says: "The foolishness of a young child." The Shuowen says: "Likewise, foolish; [the character] derives from 'heart' with 'chong' phonetic; fa has the sound wu + jie [wǎi]").
