聾聞 ("Deaf hearing"): The first character is pronounced with the fanqie 祿 + 東 (lóng). The Zuo zhuan states: 'The ears not hearing the harmony of the five notes constitutes lóng (deafness).' Du Yu's commentary states: 'Lóng means obtuse.' The Cangjie pian states: 'The ears having no hearing.' The Shuowen jiezi states that it takes the radical 耳 (ear) with 龍 as the phonetic.
