76.5

環釧 (for the first character, fanqie: 患 + 關). Zheng [Xuan's] commentary to the Rites of Zhou says: '環 means revolving.' Zheng Xuan also says: '環 means encircling.' The Shuowen says it takes its semantic classifier from 玉 (jade) and 睘 is its phonetic. The sound of 睘 is 瓊. The scripture writing it with the metal radical as 鐶 refers to nested rings, departing from the original meaning.
