Twins conjoined (孿子併: [孿 is] *suo* and *huan* *fanqie* [= *luan*]; the *Guangya* says: "*Luan* means two." The *Tongsu wen* says: "Connected children are called *luan*." The *Zilin* says: "Twins." The *Cang Jie pian* says: "One birth of two children." 併 is pronounced *pu* and *ming* *fanqie* [= *bing*]; the *Erya* says: "*Bing* means beside; it also means together." This means that if there were two body faculties, then two persons would be connected and conjoined, which is impossible).
