Obscuring cataracts (塵瞖; the lower character [瞖] is fanqie 伊計. The Kaosheng says: 'A disease of the eye.' Lexicons state: '塵瞖 means a cataract that obstructs the eye.' The Zilin also says: 'An eye disease.' On examination, the character 瞖 means an obstruction of the eye, rendering one unable to see. It is composed with 'eye' (目) as semantic and 殹 as phonetic. The sound of 殹 is the same as above).
