Reply (酬荅; first character shi + liu fanqie; the Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: "Chou (酬) means to reciprocate." Zheng Xuan says: "Chou means to treat generously." The Shuowen says: "Chou means to toast." It takes the wine-vessel radical (酉) with zhou (州) phonetic. Second character dang + na fanqie; the Yunying says: "Da (荅) means to answer." The Kaosheng says: "Da means so." The Gujin zhengzi says: "The character da takes the joined hands radical (廾) with cao (草) and he (合) phonetic." The standard form is written 𣌭, taking he (合) and ri (日), qian + yue fanqie, which is the ancient character. Nowadays it is commonly written 荅, which corrupts and loses the original form.).
