69.66

Short-lived (短命: *fanqie* 端 + 夘. Character dictionaries say: “短 means brief, not long.” *Shuowen jiezi* says: “Regarding lengths, the arrow serves as standard; hence it is composed of 矢 [‘arrow’] with 豆 as phonetic.” In the treatise it is written with the hand radical as 𢭃, which is incorrect).
