皴朽 Cracked and decayed (the first character is qi + xun [cūn], already explained previously in fascicle 27 of the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya; the second character is xiu + jiu [xiǔ]; Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents says: "'Xiu' means rot." The Analects says: "Rotten wood cannot be carved." The Wenzidian shuo says: "[The character] derives from 'wood' with 'kao' phonetic; kao has the sound kǎo").
