Licking the sideburns and hair [狧鬢髮] (*shi* [狧] is pronounced *shi* + *er* [shì], the ancient character for *shi* [舐, to lick]. The following character *bin* [鬢] is pronounced *bi* + *chou* [bìn]. The *Shuowen* states: 'Hair between the cheek and ear; it takes "long hair" [髟] as semantic classifier and has *bin* [賓] as phonetic component.' In the sūtra it is written with "head" [頁] as 䰅, which is an error. The last character *fa* [髮] is pronounced *fan* + *wa* [fà]. The *Wenzi jilüe* states: 'Head hair.' The *Wenzi dianshuo* states: 'Hair upon the head; it takes "long hair" [髟] as semantic classifier and has *ba* [犮] as phonetic component.' *Ba* [犮] is pronounced *pan* + *mo* [bá]).
