巔墜 (The upper character is pronounced 丁 + 堅 fanqie. The *Erya* says: "巔 means summit." The *Guangya* says: "Top." The *Kaosheng* says: "End." It also says: "To fall dead." It takes the mountain classifier [山] and is phonetic in 顛. The standard form of 顛 takes 頁 on the right and 真 on the left; the vulgar form using two 眞 is an error. The lower character is pronounced 直 + 類 fanqie. The *Erya* says: "墜 means to fall down." The *Shuowen* says: "To drop from a high place." It takes the mound classifier [𨸏] and is phonetic in [隊-(阿-可)]; commonly adding the earth classifier [土] is also acceptable).
