72.42

Tooth socket (齒𦠍; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 昂各 [è]. The Kaosheng states: '𦠍 means the tooth-sockets and gums.' The Shuowen jiezi writes it as 谷, pronounced with the fanqie 巨脚 [jué], meaning the opening of the mouth, which is a pictographic character. In the treatise text, writing it as 𦠍 is a vulgar variant transmitted in usage).
