69.5

浮瓠 [Floating gourd] (The fanqie is 乎故 [hū + gù]. Guo Pu's commentary on the Erya says: '瓠 means a calabash bottle.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It is formed with the "gourd" semantic component and the phonetic 夸.' The sound of 夸 is 詡于 [xǔ + yú], also pronounced in the rising tone. Its form in the treatise with the "grass" radical as [荂*瓜] is a vulgar character).
