83.24

搜購 (Searching and purchasing: the first is *srjo-tsyuw* [sōu]; Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: "*Sou* means to seek out." The character books say: "To search for." The Shuowen [says]: "Formed with the hand radical and phonetic *sōu*." In the transmission written with 叟 as 搜 is a popular character. The second is *kuw-luw* [gòu]; the Shuowen [says]: "Seeking something by means of wealth is called *gou*; formed with the cowry radical and phonetic *gou*." *Gòu* is pronounced the same).
