76.67

Mute gasp (喑呃: the Shuowen jiezi writes it as 諳, with the fanqie *yu* [ʔ-] + *jin* [-əm], [yin], meaning a loud sound. The second character should properly be 啞, with the fanqie *yu* [ʔ-] + *ge* [-ɛk], [ya], meaning to shout loudly, as in the Records of the Grand Historian: "With a shout and a roar, a thousand men were all subdued." The scripture writes 呃, with the fanqie *yu* [ʔ-] + *ge* [-ək], [e]. 呃 means grief; 呃 means hiccupping; it is an upward surging of breath).
