75.35

Saliva and nasal mucus [㳄洟] (the first character is pronounced *xiang* + *yan* [xián]. The *Jixun* states: 'Oral fluid; it takes "water" [水] and *qian* [欠].' In the sūtra it is written with 羊 as 羡, which is incorrect. The second character is pronounced *yi* [tì]. The *Shuowen* gives the pronunciation *tian* + *ji* [tì]; the *Kaosheng* doubts this and considers it might not be right).
