78.129

Clawing oneself (自攫: [the second is pronounced] *ju* + *yue* [jué], meaning seizing and clawing one's own body with one's own fingernails, tearing the skin and flesh so that blood flows. The Shuowen says it means to tear/snatch; it takes the 'hand' radical [手] and the phonetic component *ju* [瞿]. Its sound is the same as above; *yue* [籰] is pronounced *wang* + *yue* [yuè]).
