77.117

A vermin to the Way (道蠧): [The second character is read with the fanqie] 都故. Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: '蠹 is that which eats people's vessels and goods; the silverfish is one such insect.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It is a worm in wood; it takes 䖵 as radical and 橐 as phonetic.' In the register it is written as 蠹, which is erroneous.
