苛虐 (Harsh and cruel): The first character is read fanqie *h[è]-[g]ē* [kē]. Jia Kui's commentary on the *Guoyu* states: '苛 (*kē*) means harsh.' The *Boya* states: 'It means anger.' The *Guangya* states: 'It means vexatious and cruel.' The *Shuowen jiezi* states: 'It is classified under the radical *cǎo* (grass) with *kě* (可) phonetic.' In transmitted texts it is written as 荷, which is incorrect.
