73.417

不齅 (Does not smell; [fanqie:] xiu + jiu. The Shuowen says: "To approach an odor with the nose is called xiù. Derived from 'nose' and 'odor,' with 'odor' also being the phonetic element." 臭 is pronounced with the fanqie chang + zhou. The sūtra text writes it with 'mouth' as 嗅, which is a vulgar character and not the correct form).
