勍敵 (A formidable enemy): The first character is read fanqie *j[ìng]-[y]íng* [qíng]. The *Picang* states: '勍 (*qíng*) means robust.' The *Guangya* states: 'It means martial.' The *Shuowen jiezi* states: 'It is like strong; it is classified under the radical *lì* (strength) with *jīng* (京) phonetic.' The second character is read fanqie *t[íng]-[l]ì* [dí]. Du's commentary on the *Zuo tradition* states: '敵 (*dí*) means opponent, and also an equal match.' The *Erya* states: 'It means an equal match.' The *Shuowen jiezi* states: '敵 means to match; it is classified under the radical *pū* (攴) with *dí* (啇) phonetic.' 述 is pronounced like 求, also meaning to match or pair. 攴 is read fanqie *p[ǔ]-[b]ǔ*; 啇 is pronounced *dí*. Transmitted texts write it as 𰚇, which is a vulgar character.
