8.83

To milk a hundred [cows] (搆百: [the first character is] pronounced 苟 + 寇 fanqie; this is a popular borrowed character; the standard form is written as [搫-舟+(孛-了)]; Kaosheng says: to milk cattle or sheep; it takes shou [手] as its classifier and [敲-高+(孛-了)] as its phonetic; it is also written with yang [羊] as [搫-舟+(孛-了)]; the sūtra writing it as 搆 means framing timber, which is not the sense intended by the sūtra).
