72.34

Hesitating (躊躇; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 宙留 [chóu], the second with 紓廬 [chú]. The Kaosheng states: '躊躇 (chóuchú) means not advancing; it also means pacing back and forth.' The Han shi waizhuan states: 'Scratching one's head and hesitating,' which is this. The Gujin zhengzi states: '躊躇 means being irresolute.' Both take 'foot' [足] as radical, with 壽 and 著 respectively as phonetics).
