綜習 (The upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 宗 + 送 [zòng]. The Lienü zhuan says: "Weaving can serve as a metaphor for governance: pushing forward and pulling back is called zong." The Shuowen says: "The loom threads that hold and cross the silk strands." It takes the silk radical [糸] and has 宗 as its phonetic component. The lower character is pronounced with the fanqie 尋 + 入 [xí]. Gu Yewang says: "習 refers to accumulating practice to accomplish it." The Shangshu says: "Habit [習] becomes nature." The Shuowen says it takes 羽 and 白. The sūtra writes 謵 with the speech radical [言], which is incorrect; 謵 has the sound of 獵 [liè], and is completely contrary to the sūtra's meaning.)
