磨瑩 (for the first character, m- + -o in fanqie. The Kaosheng says: '磨 means to grind; also to polish.' The Guangya says: 'Polishing pearls and jade to make them emit luster.' The Wenzi dianshuo takes stone as semantic and 麻 as phonetic. For the second character, y- + -ing in fanqie. The Guangya says: '瑩 also means to polish.' The Shuowen says: 'The color of jade.' It takes jade as semantic and an abbreviated 熒 as phonetic; 熒 is pronounced h- + -iong).
