75.117

Subtle trigger (機微) (fanqie: 既希 [jī]). Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "機 also means subtle." Nowadays, character dictionaries mostly omit the wood radical [木] and write simply 幾. Lower: fanqie 尾非 [wēi]; the sūtra writes 微, which is incorrect; the correct form is [敲-高+耑], not taking the human radical [亻].)
