83.4

逗機 (Responding to capacities: the first is *dow-how* [dòu]; the character books say: "*Douliu*, to delay." The Shuowen [says]: "*Dou* also means to stop; formed with the movement radical and phonetic *dou* [bean]." The second is *kji-xji* [jī]; the Kaosheng says: "*Ji* means clear." Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "Subtle." The Shuowen [says]: "To initiate; formed with the wood radical and phonetic *ji* [table]." In the transmission, written with the hand radical as *ji* [to seize] is an error).
