74.391

Glance askance [睥睨] (the first character is pronounced *pu* + *ji* [pì]; [the second is pronounced] *ni* + *ji* [nì]. The *Liji* states: 'Looking at it with a squinting glance [睥睨], they still considered it distant.' The *Shuowen* states: 'To look askance; both take "eye" [目] as semantic classifier and have *bei* [卑] and *er* [兒] as phonetic components.' In the sūtra it is written with "person" [人] as 俾倪, which is incorrect).
