67.5

Intimate (親暱: the lower character has the fanqie n[í] + [w]ā; character dictionaries standardly write it with nì as radical as 暱; the treatise text writes it with ní as radical as 呢, which is a vulgar character. Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: '暱 means intimate.' The Shuowen says: 'Close; it takes rì as radical and nì as phonetic').
