86.21

誇誕 (The upper [character] is kua + gua [kuā]. Kong's commentary to the Book of Documents says: "誇 means arrogant, unrestrained, and transgressing rules." The Posthumous Names rules say: "Florid words without substance are called 誇." The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 言 [speech] with 𡗢 as phonetic; 𡗢 has the same pronunciation. The lower [character] is tan + lan [dàn]. Kong's commentary to the Book of Documents says: "誕 means to deceive." The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 言 [speech] with 延 as phonetic.)
