管闚 (The lower [character] is quan + gui [kuī]. The Kaosheng says: "闚 means to peek (觑); looking at the sky through a writing-brush tube, hence it is called 'peeking through a tube' (管闚)." The Fangyan says: "闚 means to look at." The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 門 [gate] with 規 as phonetic. 覷 is pronounced qi + yu [qù].)
