匍匐 (the first character is \*pu\* combined with \*bu\* \[fanqie: pu-bu\]; the second character is \*peng\* combined with \*bei\* \[fanqie: peng-bei\]; Mao's commentary on the Shijing says: “匍匐 speaks of exhausting one's strength.” Gu Yewang says: “Crawling on hands.” The Shuowen says: “匍 means walking on hands; \[匍匐 means\] prostrating on the ground.” Both characters are formed with 勹, with 甫 and 畐 as their phonetic components; 勹 is pronounced \*bao\*).
