68.148

Faeces and urine (屎𰎁): the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 尸 + 是. The Zhuangzi says: 'Filling a basket with faeces.' The Wenzidian shuo says: 'Shǐ means excrement; the standard form takes the radical 𰏒 as 𦳊, which is an ancient character; it is also written as [尸@(米*矢)].' In the treatise it is written as 屎, a vulgar character. The second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 溺 + 吊. Gu Yewang says: '𰎁 is urine (niào).' The Shuowen says: 'Niào means urination; it takes the radicals 尾 (tail) and 水 (water).'
