瑰瑋, marvelous and exquisite (the first [character is pronounced with the fanqie] 古 + 回; the Mao Commentary to the Odes states: "Gui (瑰) is a fine stone secondary to jade"; the Picang says: "Guiwei (瑰瑋) means precious and rare"; the Shuowen says: "A fine red jade (玫瑰)"; it has the jade radical and is a phono-semantic character; it is also written with the huai (壞) phonetic; the sūtra writes it as 璝, which is an erroneous usage; the Kaosheng states: "Guiwei (瑰瑋) describes a figure that is extraordinarily tall and large"; the Gujin zhengzi writes it with the jade radical).
