84.15

傀偉 (the upper character is gu and hui in fanqie; the lower character is wei and gui in fanqie. The Picang says: "傀偉 means an extraordinarily large appearance." The Jixun says: "傀 means robust and large; grand." It also says: "偉 means possessing extraordinary beauty." The Shuowen states that both characters 傀 and 偉 are composed of 人 [person] with 鬼 and 韋 phonetic. The Tuji writes it with 玉 [jade] as 璝, which is the name of a jade and not appropriate here.)
