75.53

䁾戾 ("bleary-eyed and crooked": the first character is fanqie 眠苾 [mì]. The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'Making them bleary-eyed and making them blind.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Eye-gum.' It is a phono-semantic character. The second character is fanqie 蓮結 [liè]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Derived from 戶 (door) and 犬 (dog); an associative compound character.' In the sūtra text it is written with the eye radical as 睙, which is incorrect).
