76.25

深坑 (fanqie: 客 + 衡). The Erya says: '坑 means a mound or ruin.' Guo [Pu's] commentary says: 'Moats and ponds are simply called mounds and ruins.' The Cang Jie Pian says: 'A ravine, a pitfall.' The Gujin zhengzi gives it with the semantic classifier 土 (earth) and 亢 as its phonetic. The scripture writing it with the stone radical as 砊 is incorrect.
