基蹠 [Foundation] (The first character has the fanqie jì + qí. The *Erya* states: "*Ji* means beginning; foundation." The lower part is *zhǐ* (foot). It is formed with 'earth' and has 其 as phonetic. The second character has the fanqie zhēng + yì. Wang [Yi]'s commentary on the *Chuci* states: "*Zhi* means to step upon." Xu Shuzhong [Xu Shen] says: "To walk; to tread." The *Guangya* states: "To tread upon." In the transmission of the text it is written with 'earth' as 墌; 墌 also means foundation; writing it as 趾 is also acceptable).
