75.62

舐利 ("licking": fanqie 食尒 [shì]. An erroneously used character. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Taking things with the tongue.' The standard form is written with 易 as 舓 or as 𦧇, both being orthodox forms. In character dictionaries it is also written as [舌*(罩-卓+(豕-一))], 狧, or 咶, all of which are vulgar or ancient characters).
