89.110

Equal in lifespan (for the second [character 齡], l- + [d]ing [líng]; the Guangya says: “'Ling' means years.” Zheng's commentary to the Book of Rites says: “'Ling' refers to teeth, the measure of human longevity.” The Shuowen says: “It follows 齒 (teeth) with 令 as phonetic.” Examining the transmission text, 'equalling the age of the two poles' means longevity equal to Heaven and Earth).
