64.185

某摽 (A certain marked point: The first character [某], pronounced *mou* + *hou* [mǒu]. The *Cang Jie pian* states: '某 designates a hypothetical matter.' The *Guiyuan zhucong* states: 'When there is no definite name and one hypothesizes it, it is called 某.' Gu Yewang states: 'Whenever someone does not know a surname and does not speak a name, they call them 某. The *Shuowen* has it composed of 木 and 甘.' The second character [摽], pronounced *bi* + *yao* [biāo]. Gu Yewang states: '摽 means marking a location.' The *Shuowen* has it composed of 木 with 票 as phonetic; 票 has the same pronunciation as above. Written with 手 as 摽, it means to strike, which is not the sūtra's meaning).
