89.89

To chant and sing (for the first [character 揜], y- + [y]an [yǎn]; the commentary to the Mao classic of Poetry says: “'Yan' means to stroke.” Character dictionaries give it as 奄, or following 手 (hand) as 掩, with the same gloss and meaning. The Shuowen says: “'Yan' means to cover and collect. It follows 手 (hand) with 弇 as its phonetic.” 弇 has the same pronunciation as above).
