庭燎 (courtyard torch: the first character is pronounced 定 + 丁 fanqie; the Shuowen jiezi says it is derived from 广 and 廷; in transmitted texts, writing it with 火 as 𭵬 is incorrect; 广 is pronounced 魚 + 撿 fanqie; 廷 is pronounced 庭; the second character is pronounced 力 + 召 fanqie; Zheng's commentary to the Liji says, "Using hemp to make a torch, set up outside the gate, is called a great torch; set up inside the gate, it is called a courtyard torch; it is used to illuminate the crowd for light"; the Shuowen jiezi writes it as 尞).
