Like an extinguished lamp [如燈滅] (the first character is pronounced *deng* [dēng]. It is also written with "fire" [火] as 燈, a popular character in common circulation. The *Shuowen* states: 'Ding [錠]; ding is deng [lamp]. One without feet is called deng [鐙]; one with feet is called ding [錠].' It is sometimes written with 廾 as [登-(前-刖)+廾], or with "earthenware" [瓦] as 㽅; these are all ancient characters).
