82.62

Flattened and thin (the upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 邊辮 [b- + -iɛn = biɛn]; the lower character is pronounced with the fanqie 體奚 [t- + -ei = tei]. The Zitong says: "[Bianxi] means thin and wide in appearance." Both characters are composed of 匚; 匚 is pronounced like 方. Some write them with the cliff radical as [┌@扁][┌@虎], or with the walking radical as 逼遞; both are incorrect. Taking them as composed of 匚 is standard).
