加趺 [cross-legged] (pronounced with the fanqie 古遐 [g- + -ia = jia]: The Erya states: “Jia (加) means to superimpose.” Here the meaning is taken to denote sitting with crossed legs. In the scriptures it is also written as “sitting cross-legged” (結交趺坐). In Shandong they call it jiāfū (甲趺); south of the Yangtze they call it pánkuà (跘跨; pan is pronounced with the fanqie 平患 [p- + -uan = pan], and kua with 口瓜 [k- + -ua = kua]). Some write it with the 足 [foot] radical as 跏, but this does not exist in standard dictionaries).
