The Kaosheng says: "Eyes that cannot see. It takes its semantic classifier from 目 'eye' and 亡 is the phonetic." The lower character is yu-ji [fanqie]. The Kaosheng says: "A cataract in the eye." The Zishu says: "An obstructive membrane over the eye. It takes its semantic classifier from 目 'eye' and 殹 is the phonetic." 殹 has the same pronunciation as above. In the sutra it is written with 壹 and 目 as 𪾼, which is incorrect).
