75.7

Cannot be grasped [不可擭] (pronounced *wu* + *guo* [huò]. The *Kaosheng* states: 'To seize and take with the hand is huò; it takes "hand" [手] as semantic classifier and has *huo* [蒦] as phonetic component.' In the sūtra text it is written simply as 蒦, which is also acceptable; it is derived from 雈, pronounced *wan*, and from 又, the ancient character for "hand").
