Tangled and intertwined (紛糾; the first is fang-wen fan; Du's commentary on the Zuo Zhuan says: 'Fen means disorderly.' The Guangya says: 'Fenfen also means chaotic crowds; bad.' The second is jing-you fan; Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'Jiu is like inspecting closely.' The Guangya says: 'Jiu means urgent.' Both are phono-semantic characters. The Shuowen says: 'The character jiu represents three strands of rope braided together.' Liao is pronounced liao. It is a pictographic character. The form [┴*├] has the sound ju-qiu fan).
