87.31

𢏗篡 The usurpation by Hou Yi: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 霓 + 計; the correct form is written with the bow radical (弓) as 𢏗. The second is pronounced with the fanqie 蒭 + 患. The Analects says: 'Yi was skilled in archery.' The Shuowen says: 'An archery officer under Emperor Ku; Shao Kang of the Xia extinguished him.' It takes the bow radical (弓) and 幵 for phonetic. The treatise writes it with the feather radical (羽) as 羿, which refers to a bird taking flight; though common usage has long adopted this, please examine it carefully: it is not the original character.
