Orphaned and solitary (孤煢: anciently written in the two forms 惸 and 濚, both with the fanqie 渠營, *qióng*): Being without a father is called *gū* (orphan); being without sons is called *dú* (solitary); being without brothers is called *qióng* (destitute/alone). *Qióng* means single; *qióngqióng* means having nowhere to rely upon. The character is composed of 卂 and the abbreviated phonetic 營; 卂 has the fanqie 雖閏 (*xùn*).
