7.26

危脆 ("fragile and precarious"): The character has the fanqie reading [tsʰ- + -wiɛ = cuì] (清歲反). The Guangya says: "脆弱 means delicate." Gu Yewang says: "脆 means soft and pliable (愞, fanqie 奴乱反); it is also written 膬." The Kaosheng says: "Fatty meat; soft and tender (耎, fanqie 而兖反)." The Shuowen says: "Tender meat that breaks easily. It is formed with the radical 肉 ('flesh') and an abbreviated 絕 as phonetic." In the sūtra it is written with 危 as 脆, which is incorrect.
