系嫡 (The first character has the fanqie 奚 + 計. The Erya says: '系 means to continue.' The Shiben has a "Chapter on Imperial Lineage" [帝系篇], meaning sons and grandsons succeeding one another. The Shuowen also says: 'To tie/continue; formed with "thread" [系] as semantic and 系 as phonetic.' The Great Seal script forms it with "claw" [爪] as [爪/((ㄠ/八)*(ㄠ/八))]. The second character has the fanqie 丁 + 歷. The Zishu says: '嫡 means eldest son.' The Shuowen says: '嫡 means legitimate son; formed with "woman" [女] as semantic and 啇 as phonetic.')
