8.32

Fleeting and sudden (儵忽: shi-zhu [fanqie]. Wang Yi's commentary to the Chuci says: "儵忽 means a swift appearance." He also says: "儵忽 like a flash of lightning." The Guangya says: "儵忽 means light; it takes its semantic classifier from 黑 'black' and 攸 is the phonetic." 攸 is read you. It is also written with 火 as 倐, or with 足 as 跾, all being ancient characters).
